Harness racing fans are in for a treat this Saturday (Aug. 30) as Primetime Racing goes live with exclusive coverage of two of Canada’s most historic races — the Canadian Pacing Derby and the Maple Leaf Trot — from Woodbine Mohawk Park.
The broadcast will air Saturday on YouTube and Woodbine Mohawk Park’s social feeds beginning at 8:30 p.m. (EDT) and will be hosted by the trio of Mark McKelvie, Greg Blanchard and Jaimi MacDonald.
Primetime Racing’s coverage will not only include the $690,000 G1 Canadian Pacing Derby and $630,000 G1 Maple Leaf Trot, but also a $90,000 Ontario Sires Stakes Gold for three-year-old pacing colts and a $60,000 Open Pace.
The Canadian Pacing Derby showcases the finest older pacers in North America, while the Maple Leaf Trot is a premier event for the best open trotters. Both races boast rich histories and will feature record-setting elimination winners.
A replay of Primetime Racing will air Tuesday on Game+ and throughout the month on Rogers TV channels across Ontario.
First post time for Saturday's star-studded card of harness racing is 6:35 p.m.
