Final leg Atlantic Sire Stakes at Northside

The final leg of the Atlantic Sires Stakes for three-year-old harness racing pacing fillies is set for Saturday (August 28) at Northside Downs.

Saturday’s race provides the last opportunity for the fillies to earn points towards the Atlantic Breeders Crown Weekend. Points earned in each Atlantic Sires ‘A’ division pacing event go towards earning a spot in the season-ending Atlantic Breeders Crown Championships which takes place October 9 and 10, 2021 at Red Shores Charlottetown.

One $17,140 division of eight fillies will head behind the gate in the tenth race of the card.

Mystifying (L Maclean) is the program favorite and sits at the top of the point standings. Elm Grove Penny (Marc Campbell) and Woodmere Vanish (Paul Langille) are the other top program picks.

There is one B Division for the fillies in Race 6.

The Nova Scotia Stake for 2 year old Pacing Colts is scheduled for Race 2. Five colts will race for a purse of $9,588

First race post time at Northside Downs is 1:00 p.m.
