The I Love Canadian Harness Racing Fan Club will be running two contests in conjunction with the Bring A Friend National Promotion.

For our first contest, we want to hear from you about your first time at the races. In 500 words or less, tell us about that first time. Were you alone, with a friend, a family member, a group? How did you feel? Did you bet on any races? What stood out in your mind? What impressed or intrigued you? Was that experience important in turning you into a racing fan or industry participant? Was there a “TSN turning point” in that visit that compelled you to visit the races again?

The winning entry will receive a $50 gift card to the racetrack of their choice and a $50 Fan Club prize package.

The contest deadline has been extended to 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, May 29. We’ll announce the winner and share some of the best stories the week of June 2.

Email your submission to: [email protected]. Make sure to include your name, age, address and phone number in your submission.
