Saturday Exhibition Park Card Set

Published: August 25, 2016 09:47 am EDT

After a busy week of Old Home Week racing on Prince Edward Island, live harness racing will make its triumphant return to Saint John's Exhibition Park Raceway this Saturday afternoon (August 27).

Horse Racing New Brunswick will showcase a five-dash card that will kick off with a first-race post time of 1:00 p.m. The program will include a $1,350 Preferred 1 that has been carded as Race 5.

Haunto, owned by Jeff DeFazio and Gordon White, will look for Post 1 to give them the edge in the field for driver Mark Haig. They will be asked to take on one of the hottest stables from the region. Dr. Mitchell Downey and his father, Mike, will send out two starters, Stare Down and City Of The Year.

Magical Alex and Cecils Express will round out the race.

Horse Racing New Brunswick and its partners will host the prestigious Maritimer stake as part of the Exhibition Week of racing at the Saint John half-mile track.

First-race post time is 1:00 p.m.
