JULY 19TH EVENT POSTPONED
We have made the decision to postpone the July 19th race at Georgian Downs. In discussion with Ian Fleming today, it was agreed that it would be in the best interest of riders, trainers, owners and horses to hold off until more qualifiers have been provided for more horses and eligible riders.
We will post the new date for Georgian as soon as it becomes available on rusontario.com.
In the meantime, more qualifiers will be planned, including this Friday’s scheduled qualifier for Mohawk.
Thank you for understanding, and thank you to everyone who came out in support of racing under saddle’s debut wagering event July 13th at Clinton Raceway! We made many new fans and followers, and the wagering handle on our race alone was very impressive!
Thank you
