Live harness racing returns to Fraser Downs on Thursday, Feb. 27 and the Surrey, B.C. track aims to build on its wagering momentum from last season with promotions being offered for horseplayers in March.
With wagering at its highest levels in recent years at Fraser Downs, track officials are eager to continue delivering competitive racing action and exceptional value for horseplayers. To celebrate the start of the meet, in March, major Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) platforms will be offering exclusive promotions, such as a "10% Cash Back" deal through HPIbet, as well as "Bet $100 – Get $20" and "Money Back Specials" through 1/ST Bet – Xpressbet. AmWager will be offering players a "Bet $20 Get $10" deal with a unique additional "$5 Bonus" for each race the leading driver Kelly Hoerdt wins on the card.
"There has been a lot of energy around the product recently," said Dawn Lupul, Manager of Racing and Communications. "As a horseplayer myself, it is rewarding to see these initiatives getting the results they have. We will continue to focus on the player community that makes this possible while delivering a highly competitive racing program."
Fraser Downs remains one of the most horseplayer-friendly harness tracks in North America. The five-eighths-mile track offers industry-low 15 per cent takeouts on Win, Place, Show, Double, Classic Hi-5, Pick 3 and both Pick 4 wagers.
Live harness racing will be held on Thursdays and Fridays at 7 p.m. (PT) through May 2. The action resumes for the fall meet on Thursday, Sept. 4 and continues through Dec. 26.
