Northside To Host Sires Stakes Saturday

Published: September 20, 2018 03:39 pm EDT

The final races of the Atlantic Sires Stakes’ regular season will take place this Saturday (Sept. 22) at Northside Downs.

The North Sydney oval will host both the two-year-old pacing colts and the two-year-old pacing fillies in what will be the last opportunity to earn points for entry into the upcoming Atlantic Breeders Crown Weekend of Championships.

Over $17,000 will be on the line as eight fillies will battle it out in one 'A' division.

The top two point earners on the filly leaderboard will be in attendance. Magical Mistress and Therealdeal are tied with 24 points each and will each start from Post 2 and 3, respectively.

The top eight declared point earners in each division will advance to the championship finals on Thanksgiving weekend at Red Shores’ Charlottetown Driving Park, while the next eight will head to the consolations.

The two-year-old pacing colts will also have the chance to shine on Saturday in two 'A' divisions, each of which will feature a $9,320 purse. Woodmere Bolt, the current point leader, will be on hand to defend his lead.

First-race post time on Saturday at Northside Downs will be at 1 p.m.
