Trot Insider has learned that Horse Racing New Brunswick has added a race date to the 2020 calendar to offset a date cancelled earlier this year.

Officials with HRNB have added a date lost in May due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"This means there will be live harness racing the next five Saturdays in a row," said HRNB's Brock McEachern.

The sixth and final remaining card will be held Saturday, Oct. 17. That card will bring the total number of race dates in New Brunswick to 15 this season.
