The Cape Breton Horsemen's Association's auction and dance held this past Saturday (April 1) was a huge success, raising funds to cover the costs of the new racing surface and some upgrades at Northside Downs.

The event raised $5,000 to cover the upgrades at the North Sydney, N.S. racetrack for the 2017 harness racing season, which kicks off next month and runs through November.

The Cape Breton Horsemen's Association would like to thank all of the sponsors and attendees of its recent auction for their support. The event was a huge success thanks to the support of all involved.
