If you will in the Clinton Raceway area this Sunday and are looking for something exciting to do for Fathers Day, the track will be hosting a thrilling card of live racing that will includes two Racing Under Saddle races.
In 2014, Clinton held the first wagering race for Racing Under Saddle in the history of North American history. RUS Ontario is pleased to return to Clinton for the 2016 season. There will be a field of six trotters in Race 2 and Race 8 on Sunday.
Alex Marion, who is RUS Ontario's sole licensed male rider, will make his 2016 debut on Sunday and will compete in both of the races. Five of the six horses that are scheduled to head behind the gate in Race 2 will be doing so for the first time under saddle. Cali Magoo (Post 5) will be making his first start in three seasons of under saddle racing for John Braid and rider Marit Valstad.
Race 8 will feature the return of Southwind Alice and rider Evelyn Harmes. The duo was victorious over Kawartha Downs on June 4. Massive Muscles, Gracies Harmony and Santo Domingo will be back to challenge the Dave Dowling trainee. Newcomer Amigo Loco will also compete for trainer Tiffany Stein and Alex Marion after an impressive qualifier win over Grand River Raceway.
Riders will be present for meet and greets with race fans immediately following Race 2 and Race 8.
Seaforth Public School will also be back Sunday for another great on-track fundraiser, ‘Kids Day at the Races.’ A BBQ, auction, 50/50 draw and bake sale will be in the stands.
The card of racing will kick off with a 1:30 p.m. first-race post time.
Free parking and admission, fun, games and many prizes between the 10 races will surely make for a fun family friendly atmosphere this Sunday!
