Atlantic Sires Stakes To Northside

Northside Downs will play host to the Atlantic Sires Stakes three-year-old pacing fillies on Saturday afternoon (Aug. 25) and a substantial purse is on the line.

The lone 'A' division will go for $17,940, with eight competitors battling it out for purse money and points. There will also be a $2,500 'B' division on the afternoon card.

Points earned in each Atlantic Sires Stakes 'A' division pacing event and all trotting events go towards securing a spot in the season-ending Atlantic Breeders Crown Championships. This year's Weekend of Champions will take place at Red Shores at Charlottetown Driving Park on Thanksgiving weekend.

First race post time at the North Sydney oval is 1:00 p.m.
