Ontario Sires Stakes at Hanover Raceway

Hanover Raceway will play host to five divisions of 3 year old Filly Trotters in the Ontario Sires Stakes this Saturday night.

Among those taking part are 6 of the top 10 horses in the OSS Grassroots standings, and several with local connections.   

They’ll all be trying to gather points to qualify for the season ending Grassroots Championship.

Among those taking part are two owned by the Henry Stables of Arthur. Wing Flash won her first start in the 3 year old OSS program at Dresden in 1:58.2 but has struggled at Mohawk in her recent starts. Pointe of Inquiry however won at Mohawk on August 10^thin 1:57.1.

Jeff and Lori Thomson of Chesley own Renegade Magic who leads the OSS Grassroots standings with 3 wins and a second in four starts. This daughter of Kadabra has earned over 43,000 dollars already this season.

Julie Walker and JB Renaud own Tymal Fireitup, who has a 3^rd and 4^th place finish so far and will need a good finish in order to move up the Grassroots points standings.

Fans who purchase their program at the Kiosk this Saturday starting at 6:00pm will get a choice of an OSS T Shirt, or OSS hat,  while supplies last.

Also Saturday Hanover Raceway will feature a live band, as Craig Dougan from the Almost Hip will be playing some classic Tragically Hip songs,  as well as some of his originals from his 1^st 2 CD’s.

And its CKNX Night at the Races.  The staff will be on hand to help with swag prizing and one lucky fan will win a 50 inch Smart TV package from HDTV in Hanover and Walkerton.

Post time is 7:15pm
