On Sunday, August 5, the National Capital Region Harness Horse Association in association with Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre will be presenting its fifth annual Night of Champions.
There will be numerous fundraising activities taking place during the evening, with all proceeds supporting the Shepherds of Good Hope.
The night will be featuring memorial races honouring some of the Ottawa Valley’s racing pioneers.
In addition, there will be three non-betting 'Future Stars' races as well as a 'Trot Under Saddle.'
