The sire stakes two-year-olds will chase the same $1 million bounty at Chester Racetrack the next day, Sunday, September 5. Those races will be drawn on Wednesday, September 1.

Pocono Downs will host both sets of Stallion Series Championships, worth $40,000 each. The three-year-olds will race Friday, September 3, and will be drawn Tuesday, August 31. The two-year-olds will race on Tuesday, September 7 after the draw on Thursday, September 2.

Point standings to determine eligibility for the various races are available in the racing office at all tracks; from the state’s two pari-mutuel horsemen’s associations; from the website of the Standardbred Breeders Association of Pennsylvania (standardbredbreederspa.com); and by contacting the Harness Commission at [email protected] or 717-787-5539.
