This
year’s event will be bigger and better than ever and fans should note that
special post time of 6:50 p.m. has been implemented for that night only.
For
the first time ever, the Molson ‘Post Time Party’ will be held featuring three
live bands who will perform in the Progress Building, adjacent to the track,
throughout the evening.
The
headliner will be Dallas Smith, the former lead singer of the popular rock band
Default. He is currently embarking on a solo career and his hit singles If It Gets You Where You Wanna Go and Somebody Somewhere are rapidly climbing
the country charts.
Tickets
for the concert are priced at $15, which includes a $5 betting voucher, good
for any race on the Molson Pace program. They can be purchased online at www.westernfairdistrict.com.
On
the wagering side, the pick-4 will offer an increased guaranteed pool this year
of $15,000. And, once again, The Raceway will team up with the Horseplayers’
Association of North America (HANA) to allow horseplayers an opportunity to
vote on which races make up the pick-4 sequence that night.
The
pick-5 will feature an instant guarantee (yet to be determined) that night as
well. Both wagers offer a 15% total takeout – two of the best values in
Canadian harness racing.
In
addition, one lucky patron that night will have their name drawn to receive a
$500 win bet on the Molson Pace. Fans must be on track to qualify for the draw.
Defending
champion Foiled Again, headlines the list of this year’s nominees which also
includes pacing stars We Will See, Betterthancheddar, Up The Credit, Aracache
Hanover, Atochia and Strand Hanover – just to name a few.
The
Molson Pace program will also include a tribute to recent Hall Of Fame inductee
and ‘London Legend’ Dave Wall. On the track, four City Of London Series finals
and an OSS Gold Final for three-year-old colt trotters will highlight the
undercard.
More
details will be announced in the coming days. To keep up to date on this year’s
