It's a moment that will be remembered by racing fans, horsemen, and management for years to come in Maritimes racing history.

On Friday, August 30, the Maritimes harness racing industry was buzzing about Big League's track-record performance over Saint John’s Exhibition Park Raceway.

To recognize the moment, Horse Racing New Brunswick will be unveiling a new track record sign symbolic of the connections of Big League and his 1:53.4 mile.

Officials of HRNB will be on hand for the special moment during EPR’s Saturday program. Neal Moase owns the four-year-old Four Starzzz Shark gelding that is trained by his son, Jonah. Dale Spence was in the driver’s seat for the historic mile.
