Atlantic Sire Stake Races for 2 and 3 year old Colts Scheduled for Northside and Inverness
The three year old colts were scheduled to race at Northside Downs Saturday September 7, 2019. Due to the forecast of Hurricane Dorian the decision was made to have Inverness host the 2 “A” Division races with their card Sunday September 8, 2019 as Inverness was hosting the ATSS 2 year old colts.
With the storm hitting the Atlantic Provinces, Inverness made the decision to move their card of racing to Monday September 9, 2019. The storm created a lot of power outages for the Atlantic Provinces and there was much damage to many areas. As of Monday morning Inverness still did not have power and the estimated time for restoration was Wednesday September 11, 2019.
Due to no power Inverness cancelled their card of racing for Monday September 9, 2019.
After careful consideration, and exhausting all dates and efforts the ASBA has made the decision to pay out the ASBA contribution for 2 year old colts and 3 year old colts races. This amount will be divided equally among the horses entered to race. The points for the A Divisions for both the 2 and 3 year old colts will also be divided equally among the horses that were entered to race.
If you have any questions or concerns please to not hesitate to reach out.
