COSA TV’s 'Facebook Live' series will continue this coming Sunday night (August 16) with a stop at Rideau Carleton Raceway. Three-year-old pacing colts will be featured in the Ontario Sires Stakes during the show, which will also feature remote coverage of the $75,000 Earl Rowe Memorial Trot from Georgian Downs.
The two-hour broadcast will get underway at 7:30 p.m. and will cover five races. Trainer Ben Baillargeon will be well represented at both venues with two starters in the Earl Rowe (P L Jill and Musical Rhythm) and one of the expected favourites, Rhythm In Motion, in the OSS Gold divisions. COSA TV sent their cameras to the farm of the veteran conditioner earlier this week for a behind the scenes look at his weekend starters.
Greg Blanchard, Mark McKelvie and Jaimi MacDonald will be on location at Rideau Carleton to host the action. The show will be aired on multiple Facebook and Youtube channels, as well as the Standardbred Canada website.
The hosts will have a chance to engage the audience through a pair of new contests that will be introduced. Hoofbid.com is sponsoring the show’s poll question and everyone with the correct answer will be entered win a new e-bike to be drawn during the season finale. As well, COSA is sponsoring draws during the next two Facebook Live shows where winners will receive Pepsi NA Cup ‘viewing party’ packages.
The upcoming show schedule appears below.
