This Sunday, August 4, the 2013 Standardbred Showcase Series continues with an event at the Ancaster Fairgrounds.
The 'I Love Canadian Harness Racing' Fan Club will be on site for this event, which starts at 9 a.m. Everyone is invited to come out and enjoy the show. Classes include: halter and showmanship, English and western pleasure and equitation, dressage, jumping, games and costume.
This is the third of five shows in the series. The next one will take place on Sunday, September 22 at Railside View Equestrian Centre in Dutton, Ont.
Standardbred Showcase is a non-profit corporation whose mandate is to promote the Standardbred as a performance horse in english, western and driving disciplines. The inaugural horse show was held in Milton in 2008.
The Fan Club is also looking forward to taking part in Grand River Raceway’s biggest card of its 2013 racing season -- Industry Day, on Monday, August 5.
With the $144,500 Battle of Waterloo and the $75,400 Battle of the Belles, this is one stellar day of racing that you don’t want to miss.
The Fan Club team will be handing out $1 QuickPick Super Hi-5 tickets to the first 50 people (18+) to visit the booth on Industry Day. They will also have the popular Wheel of Fortune for your chance to win prizes and some great summer swag. Industry Day festivities begin at 12:30 p.m. and post time is 1:30 p.m.
