The Molson Pace at The Raceway at The Western Fair District will be contested as a $150,000 Invitational event this year on Friday, May 31.
In recent years, the Molson Pace has had elimination races and a final the following week. However, this year’s event drew fewer nominations (17 in total) which prompted management to make a change to the format.
WFD Racing and Gaming Manager Ian Fleming explained that nothing is etched in stone and that the event will be reviewed prior to next season to see which format works best in today’s climate.
However, the WFD has an added a new twist to this year’s race.
A Molson Pace prep will be held on Friday, May 24 and the winner of that will receive an automatic berth into the Molson Pace and will join seven other invitees for the $150,000 main event.
The marketing and promotion team is busy putting together another fantastic Molson Pace night with more details to follow in the coming days.
