​Inverness Raceway to Host Atlantic Sires Stakes on Canada Day Weekend

Inverness Raceway will play host to Atlantic Sires Stakes fillies this Canada Day weekend, as the nation celebrates 150 years of Confederation and Canada’s horse racing industry recognizes the 250th Anniversary of Horse Racing in Canada. 
 
A total of 23 racetracks in eight provinces from coast to coast are taking part in the national celebration over the July 1st weekend, acknowledging this major milestone in the industry’s history.
 
The Sunday afternoon race card at Inverness Raceway will also include a trio of Atlantic Sires Stakes events for three-year-old pacing fillies. A $9800 purse will be up for grabs in each of the two ‘A’ division events, and a lone ‘B’ division will go for a purse pool of $2500.
 
This is the second meeting of the Atlantic Sires Stakes fillies this race season. Points earned in each ‘A’ division event go towards earning a coveted spot in the season-ending Atlantic Breeders Crown Championships.
 
First race post time on Sunday at Inverness Raceway is 1:30 pm.
