Hippodrome 3R Adds Two Race Dates

Published: October 26, 2020 04:46 pm EDT

Trot Insider has been informed that Hippodrome 3R has been given the green light to add a pair of dates to its 2020 race date calendar.

The Quebec Jockey Club has announced that Sunday, November 15 and Sunday, November 22 have been added to H3R's 2020 racing schedule. The programs will be held provided there are a sufficient number of horses entered and if the weather permits it.

“I think that the members of the Board are really aware of the difficulties encountered by our horsemen in this very different year,” Hippodrome 3R Director of Racing Murielle Thomassin has said, via release. “Consequently, these two additional programs are seen by the authorities first and foremost as help for our horsepeople. The two race days will help our people get through the coming winter."

Hippodrome 3R race programs will be starting at 1 p.m. on Sundays, November 1, 8, 15 and 22. Authorization has been received from the Quebec Racing Commission.

Quebec Jockey Club directors hope wholeheartedly that people will continue to strictly observe Public Health guidelines during these additional race dates.
