Young trotter's feature in ATSS

The best two and three-year-old from across the Maritimes will be featured this week at Red Shores Summerside Raceway, as part of harness racing action during Governor's Plate Week.

A full slate of Atlantic Sires Stakes events will take place throughout the week, beginning with the two and three-year-old trotters on Tuesday evening.

Three divisions of the Atlantic Sires Stakes – Meridian Farms and PEIHRA three-year-old trot will each go for a purse pool of $6180. One division of the Atlantic Sires Stakes – Meridian Farms and PEIRAHA two-year-old trot will go for $15,720. Meridian Farms, Atlantic Canada's largest Standardbred breeding operation, is a continued sponsor along with the PEIHRA of the trotting events this season. First race post time on Tuesday is 6:30 pm.

Atlantic Sires Stakes racing action will continue on Wednesday evening when the two-year-old pacing fillies line up behind the gate to make their debut in ATSS action and the two year-old pacing colts will make their debut on Thursday.

Atlantic Sires Stakes racing action will wind up at Red Shores Summerside Raceway on Friday and Saturday with the three-year-old pacing fillies and colts hitting the track.

Points earned in each Atlantic Sires Stakes trotting event and 'A' division pacing event go towards earning a spot in the season-ending Atlantic Breeders Crown Championships.
