Legends Day Trot To Be Live Streamed

Published: June 19, 2019 10:34 am EDT

The Central Ontario Standardbred Association is pleased to announce that it has added an additional ‘Facebook Live’ broadcast of this Sunday’s Legends Day program from Clinton Raceway to its summer series of races.

The show will air from 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. (ET) on Facebook and will be shown on the Clinton Raceway, Raceway at Western Fair District, Flamboro Downs and Grand River Raceway Facebook pages. Standardbred Canada has once again joined as a partner and will broadcast the show via live streaming on its website.

Hosts Greg Blanchard, Mark McKelvie and Jaime MacDonald will provide coverage of the $15,000 Legend’s Day Trot, headlined this year by first-time competitor Trevor Ritchie who will be inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in August. He will be joined by an all-star cast that will include David Miller, Steve Condren, Dave Wall, Ron Waples, Doug Brown and Wally Hennessey.

Joining those legends for an autograph session will be retired drivers Keith Waples, John Campbell and Bill O’Donnell.

The event will once again raise money for the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation. Previous editions of Legends Day have raised more than $210,000 for the foundation.

The Facebook Live show, produced by CUJO Entertainment of Guelph, is the third in a four-race series of shows that will culminate with the Battle of Waterloo broadcast from Grand River Raceway on Monday, August 5.
