Truro Raceway has exercised its option in the conditions of the Diamond Classic to extend the deadline for purchasing a slot to Friday, April 28, 2023 in an effort to fill the slots.

The race is open to two-year-old Atlantic-sired colts and fillies, with a division for each and a guaranteed purse of $50,000. Slots are $6,000 apiece and are able to be sold or traded up until the draw date in November.

Currently,there have been four slots purchased in the colts division and five slots purchased in the fillies division.

“We’re still hopeful that we can get the eight slots filled in both divisions," said Steve Fitzsimmons, General Manager at Truro Raceway. "A lot of people told us they really like the concept and were thinking about purchasing a slot, but didn’t pull the trigger. Those people have another 10
days to still be part of this. I’m also still hopeful of a sponsor that will add financial value to the event. That said, if we don’t sell all eight slots, there will be no race and that would be a shame.” 

The slots must be purchased through the Standardbred Canada website.
