Fraser Downs will open for its 2024 fall meet on Thursday, Sept. 12, with live harness racing on both Thursdays and Fridays every week. 

The fall meet will showcase a competitive wagering profile that offers more value to horseplayers than ever before.

Fraser Downs will feature the unique $2 minimum Double wagers on the first and last two races to create some additional value for horseplayers. For race cards with nine or more races, the program will include a second Pick 4 pool in race two, providing an additional opportunity to play one of the most popular pools. In addition, there will be two back-to-back 100 per cent carryover Classic Hi-5 pools to conclude the race cards.

Horseplayers can also take advantage of several exciting wagering promotions during the fall meet. It will start with the huge 10 per cent Cash Back promotion with HPIbet, a $10 Money Back offer from Twinspires, and additional promotions available through 1/ST Bet and NYRA Bets.

“We are excited to have the harness action back at Fraser,” said Dawn Lupul, Manager of Racing and Communications. “More and more horseplayers are starting to take notice, and it’s showing up in the wagering. We have been focused on creating better value for the players, and they are responding.”

Fraser Downs is proud to offer some of the lowest takeout rates in the industry, with just 15 per cent on Win, Place, Show, Double, Classic Hi-5, Pick 3 and Pick 4 pools.

Fans can catch the action at the five-eighths-mile oval every Thursday and Friday night starting at 7 p.m. (Pacific Time). The races are broadcast in full HD live on YouTube, which makes the races available on almost any device anywhere. 

Entries for Thursday's harness racing card at Fraser Downs will be available on Standardbred Canada website when drawn.
