Hippodrome 3R's live harness racing program scheduled for Thursday, June 18 has been cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.

The decision was made by track management to cancel the program due to the significant amount of rain received in Trois-Rivières, Que. over the past few hours, as well as the weather forecast predicting more rain and thunderstorms for much of the afternoon and evening. Management noted the safety of horses, participants, officials and spectators is a top priority.

The next race card is scheduled for Sunday, June 21 with post time at 12 noon.
