The card, which will kick off with its first-race post time at 6:10 p.m., will feature a ‘war horse’ race as well as two ‘turn back the clock’ ‘rewind’ races.
The war horse race will consist of seven pacers that are 10 years of age and older. The seven horses have combined for 2,104 starts, 296 wins, 293 seconds, 282 thirds, and $3,364,447 in lifetime earnings.
The two ‘turn back the clock’ ‘rewind’ races will feature one race with pacers and one race with trotters. The races will be contested the length of the track (seven-eighths of a mile) going clockwise.
There will also be a drawstring bag giveaway (while supplies last) and a live bugler during the card.
Vernon’s top trainer and top driver of 2018 will be honoured, as well as the horse of the year.
