"This horse is going to win...or place...or show...or show sportsmanship."

One of Canadian television's most popular personalities, Rick Mercer was a hands-on participant at Fredericton Raceway this past September. Mercer was at the New Brunswick Provincial Exhibition and Fredericton Raceway on Monday, Sept. 1 taping content for The Rick Mercer Report on CBC.

Not only did Mercer interview some of the local participants and fans, he also sat behind grey pacer Grimsby and was listed and announced as the owner of the horse in the program.

Mercer's "FREXperience" was part of his October 14, 2014 episode of the The Rick Mercer Report, and that portion of the show is available below from CBC. The harness racing content starts around the 3:30 mark.

Trot Insider previously posted a number of photos of Rick Mercer at Fredericton Raceway in an online photo gallery. Thanks to track photographer Kris Rogers of Karr Productions and Fredericton Raceway 125 for passing them on.
