Woodbine Entertainment Group recently announced a new pacing series for four-year-olds and older, non-winners of $25,000 in 2011 (winners over $100,000 in 2010 ineligible). The Beat The Heat Pacing Series will begin on Saturday, June 25.
The series will consist of two legs for a purse of $20,000 each with the first leg on June 25 and the second on July 2.
Twelve horses with the highest money earnings in the series will advance to the final, which is slated to be raced on July 9 for a purse of $60,000. All horses will be guaranteed purse money as the distribution is as follows: 50 per cent, 25 per cent, 10 per cent, seven per cent and one per cent for all remaining starters only in the final.
A nomination fee of $100 will be accepted until Wednesday, June 15.
Envelopes must be clearly post-marked no later than the said due date or payment will not be accepted. Hand delivery of the nomination payment is recommended due to the impending postal strike.
