Watch and Wager LLC, the new operator of harness racing at Cal Expo, has announced upcoming qualifying dates for this Saturday, October 20, and the following Saturday, October 27.
Racing
gets under way on Friday, November 2 and goes through May of 2013. There will
be Friday and Saturday programs until December 22, then Thursday, Friday and
Saturday cards through the remainder of the meeting.
"After speaking with the trainers
currently on the grounds, I am expecting 120 entries for this
Saturday’s qualifiers and another 100-plus on the 27th,” said
Director of Racing Fred Kuebler.
“This will give us enough horses to put on a quality two-day a week
program with full competitive fields. We are getting very good response
from Eastern and Midwestern trainers as well as Canadians to our new horse
incentive plan which will enable us to go three very full and competitive days
of racing beginning December 26.”

incentive program and the list of late closers, please go to
