Horsepeople are advised that Batavia Downs will be accepting entries for the $50,000 Robert J. Kane Memorial Pace through Wednesday morning (September 30) at 9 a.m.
The Kane Pace will be held Saturday (October 3) on one of the richest cards ever offered at the oldest lighted harness track in America.
Known as Batavia’s signature event, the Robert J. Kane Memorial is named for the former chairman of the board of the Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corporation, owner of Batavia Downs. The race has had three millionaires win it, including Foiled Again ($7.1M), who won it twice; Bolt The Duer ($1.8M) and Aracache Hanover ($1.7M) who set the all-time track record of 1:51.1 in 2011.
Other premium racing opportunities that night include the $12,500 Brian Schroeder Memorial Trot and a $10,000 Open pace. Also scheduled are two $50,000 New York Sire Stakes two-year-old consolation races.
Entries or inquiries can be made by calling the race office at 585-344-6161.
