Tickets Still Available For Shepherd Raffle

Published: May 11, 2009 04:14 pm EDT

Horseman Rod Boyd has told Trot Insider that a raffle is being conducted in support of driver Robert Shepherd

, who was injured earlier this year during the multi-horse crash at Woodbine Racetrack.

Boyd said that tickets are $10 each and can be purchased in the Flamboro Downs race office or by contacting him at 519-500-5111 or Jen Rankin at 905-536-6579.

The draw will take place Saturday, June 6 at Flamboro.

Among the prizes are a Brodeur Four Star race bike and a Walsh harness. Driver Jody Jamieson has donated $500 towards the price of the bike. Anyone wishing to donate toward the price of the bike or match Jody's donation should contact auction organizers. This will ensure that the entire amount collected from the raffle tickets will go directly to Robert.
