Eliminations for the 60th Cane Pace ($400,000e), the first jewel in the Triple Crown of Pacing, will be raced on Sunday, August 24 at Tioga Downs.

Entries must be declared with the Tioga Downs Racing Office no later than 9:00 a.m. on the morning of Wednesday, August 20. Supplemental declarations (at a cost of $35,000) are also due by that time.

It is interesting to note that supplemental entry (for those horses not currently eligible) to The Little Brown Jug, second leg of the "Crown", requires being the winner of the North America Cup, Meadowlands Pace or Cane Pace.

The Cane final will be raced on Labor Day, Monday, September 1.

Also on the August 24 card is the second leg of the Kindergarten Classic Series for freshman trotters.

The condition sheet may be accessed here. The Racing Office may be reached at (607) 699-7688.
