Field Quickly Taking Shape
London, May 19, 2015 -- Defending champion
State Treasurer will be back in the Forest City next Friday night, May 29, in search
of an unprecedented third straight Molson Pace title as the field for this
year’s $150,000 Invitational takes shape.
The six-year-old son of Real Desire scored
his first win of the season this past Saturday at Mohawk in authoritative
fashion in 1:49.4 and will be given this week off in preparation. State
Treasurer would surpass the $1 million mark in career earnings with a top-two
finish in this year’s Molson.
Joining him in this year’s event will be
All Bets Off who is fresh off a sizzling 1:51.3 victory in the Confederation
Cup at Flamboro Downs and fellow Cup elimination winner, Lets Drink On It, who
suffered a tough, parked out trip in the final and finished out of the money.
American invader and millionaire, P H Super
Cam, will be making his second appearance in the Molson Pace and will be joined
by a pair of new faces in Polak A from the Tony Osullivan stable and $500,000
winner Night Pro, who has won five of eight this year in Indiana including a
1:49.2 tally in mid April at Hoosier Park.
“The race office has put together another
stellar group,” said Racing Manager Greg Blanchard. “I like the mix that we
have...some big names, some four-year-olds who have acclimated and some new
faces that have very impressive credentials. We’ll keep a close eye on this
weekend’s action before filling out the final couple of spots.”
The post draw for the Molson Pace will be
held this Monday evening on the pre-game show just prior to live racing at
approximately 6:00 p.m.
The Raceway has a big night planned on track
and fans will be able to watch the action outside on the large video board that
is being brought in for the evening. For complete details on what is planned
and to stay up to date on this year’s event, visit www.molsonpace.com.
This Friday night, The Raceway will host
more City of London Series eliminations with the trotters taking center stage.
It is also HPIBET night at The Raceway where fans will have a chance to win a
VIP package to this year’s Pepsi North America Cup at Mohawk and all sorts of
HPIBET prizes that will be given away throughout the night. First post for this
Friday, and Molson Pace night, will be 7:15 p.m.
