State Treasurer To Be Honoured Sunday

Published: December 12, 2016 02:46 pm EST

In addition to announcing that it has an action-packed month of racing this month, officials at The Raceway at Western Fair District have given notice that three-time Molson Pace victor State Treasurer will be honoured this Sunday (December 18) at the London, Ont. oval.

The month of December is traditionally a busy one at The Raceway at Western Fair District, and this year is no exception, as a total of 15 programs will be offered, including a special matinee program on Sunday, December 18 that will kick off with first post at 1:05 p.m.

Sunday will also be ‘State Treasurer Day’ at the races in honour of the three-time Molson Pace champion (2013, 2014, 2015) who was recently retired to stand stud at nearby Seelster Farms in Lucan. The world champion, who is a double millionaire, will be on hand to meet fans Sunday afternoon as part of the festivities.

The Raceway at Western Fair District has also planned a 16-race ‘super card’ on Friday, December 23 that will feature an earlier-than-normal start time of 5:30 p.m. Horseplayers will have more chances to take home some last-minute Christmas cash with the addition of a third Super Hi-5 and third Pick-4 wager. The Pick-4 pools that day will all be guaranteed at $10,000, while the early Pick-3 will feature a $5,000 guaranteed pool.

Fans are also reminded that the traditional Boxing Day program will go postward at 1:15 p.m. on Monday, December 26, as well as the New Year’s Eve program on Saturday, December 31 at 8:00 p.m.

There is still some limited seating at the Top of the Fair Restaurant for these dates. To make reservations, call 519-438-7203 (Ext. 252) or email [email protected].
