Connell Park back in action August 26

Horse Racing New Brunswick will host a six-dash harness racing card on Saturday afternoon (Aug. 26) at Connell Park in Woodstock, New Brunswick starting at 1:00 P.M.

Saturday’s card will feature a double dash that will see previous horses in earlier races go a half-mile race to finish the race card in race six.

Both the top-class and the double-dash will offer up purses of $ 2500 each for a total of $ 5000.

Race five has been locked in as the $ 2500 feature that will have a happy group of four pacers, who will all get a cheque.

Day Of Honor (Colin Decourcey) has drawn the favorable post one. Elm Grove Quest will take on the boys from post two for Mark Haig.

Rounding out the top-class will Emperor and Jeff Lewis, and Therealprincess for Dr. Mitchell Downey.

Race six will see seven starters from the first three races on the card return to race a half-mile race for $ 2500.

Wagering is available through HPI Bet, and if fans can’t make it to Connell Park, there will be livestream available on Universum Media’s channel on YouTube.
