Two $10,000 California Sires highlight Sunday’s closing-night program of the winter/spring meeting at Cal Expo.

Uringoodhands and Hi Ho Houdini are among the major players in the four-year-old male pacing event, while My Little Susie and Kissed The Boys have top billing in the sophomore trotting contest.

Nine races are on tap under the Watch and Wager LLC banner, with the trotting stakes going as the third dash on the program, while the pacing stakes will be decided as non-betting race prior to the program.

"Clearly, the highlight of our meet was a pair of 10 percent purse increases,” said Cal Expo General Manager Chris Schick. “We made great progress this season and our purse pool will end up in very good shape.

“The strong dollar has created considerable interest for this upcoming fall meet from our friends north of the border, and the new horse incentive plan is done. We are very bullish on the future of California Harness Racing.

“We truly thank our loyal fans and a great group of horseman for their continued support."

With Sunday being closing night, there will be mandatory payouts in all wagers, including the 50-cent Pick 5, which along with the 20-cent Pick 4 comes with a reduced 16 per cent takeout rate.

Cal Expo would like to thank its fans and horsepeople for supporting the meeting. Harness racing is scheduled to return to Cal Expo in October.
