The field for the 11th annual Balanced Image final includes new track record holder Smoke Monkey who won his elimination last week in 1:59.2.
However, the 2 year old colt has seven other contenders that will be looking to take the crown including a horse with local connections. Major Muscle is owned by Mark Etsell formerly of Walkerton as well as Bob Newton of Walkerton and Chuan Tan of Cambridge.
This 2 year old Filly won her elimination in 2:00.2 which was the second fastest winner on the program and will start from post position 8 in the final. The Balanced Image final will go as Race 10 in the program for a record purse of $77,800.
Saturday night also includes some special guests.
Hanover Raceway welcomes Susies Garage and the staff from 92.3 The Dock.
Susies Garage is a local band from Port Elgin who will play some rock and country classics for us in between the races. The staff from the Dock have a great prize for someone as they will give away a $1,000 dollar Travel Voucher from Hanover Travel.
We’ll pick a name from the Ballot bin so make sure you enter your name on one of our ballots for a shot at that great prize.
Next week, we host our second and final OSS night as 3 year old Filly Trotters hit the track.
Hopefully we’ll have some of our local Dream of Glory horses back, and the Ontario Sires Stakes have left with us 100 free T-shirts and a number of OSS hats that we will give away with the purchase of a program at our information Kiosk starting at 6:00pm. The shirts and or hats will be FREE with the purchase of a program.
It’s also CKNX Night at the races, which means another great prize for one of our lucky fans from our ballot box.
Post time is 7:15pm.
