On Saturday, Horse Racing New Brunswick will host its second live harness racing card at Connell Park, featuring the New Brunswick Breeders Stakes for three-year-old pacers.
In the colt division, House Edge Hanover, a promising Betting Line colt owned by Everette Hanson of Maugerville, will be driven by catch-driver Mark Haig.
House Edge Hanover set a new lifetime mark last week in 1:55.4. In the filly division, Littlesticious, a Bettors Delight filly owned by Jenn Ritchie, has been set as the 9/5 favourite and will be driven by Todd Trites. In the second colt division, Resuscitate, a Stonebridge Terror colt, is the morning line favourite and will be driven by Trites.
Both colt divisions for the first leg in 2024 have an $8,000 purse, while the lone filly division has a $15,000 purse. Quebec horsemen and women, including top driver Pascal Berube, will be shipping in for Saturday's card, adding to the excitement of the event. With horses from other provinces in the Maritimes also participating, the card promises some excellent overnight events. Post time on Saturday is 1:00 P.M.
