Atlantic Sires Heads To Inverness

Published: September 2, 2016 03:18 pm EDT

Heart And Soul will attempt to maintain his lead in point standings when the Atlantic Sires Stakes three-year-old pacing colts meet at Inverness Raceway on Sunday afternoon.

Two 'A' divisions of the pacing colts will each go for almost $10,000 in purse money and a lone 'B' division will go for $2,500.

Heart And Soul leads the group of pacing colts and geldings with twenty points, followed by a group of four colts all tied in second place with 16 points.

This will be the fifth and final Atlantic Sires Stakes meeting of the sophomore colts prior to the season-ending Atlantic Breeders Crown Championships. The top eight point earners in each division gain entry into the championship events slated for Red Shores Charlottetown Driving Park on Thanksgiving Weekend.

First race post time on Sunday at Inverness Raceway is 1:30 p.m. To view entries, click the following link:

Atlantic Stakes Summary Poster Correction

It has come to the attention of the Atlantic Standardbred Breeders Association that there is an error on the printed copy of the Atlantic Stakes Summary Poster that has been distributed in the Maritimes this year.

The printed poster incorrectly states that the two-year-old pacing colt event slated for September 11 at Inverness Raceway is a Nova Scotia Stake event. However, the two-year-old pacing colt event scheduled for September 11 at Inverness is an Atlantic Sires Stakes event.

Inverness Raceway will also host the Nova Scotia Stake for two- year-old pacing fillies on the September 11 race card.
