At 0h54, on March 27, 2021 • By WOODBINE MOHAWK
After a three-month delay, Woodbine Mohawk Park is set to host the finals of the Valedictory and Niagara Pacing Series next Friday (April 2).
Originally scheduled for Boxing Day, the Valedictory and Niagara finals were postponed due to the province-wide shutdown. The preliminary legs for each series were completed in December.
The Valedictory and Niagara finals will each go for a purse of $35,000. Eligibility conditions for each series final is listed below:
Each final event will be limited to ten horses according to the highest money earnings in the series. All horses must declare in for the final. If one of the ten highest money winners fails to declare in for the final, the next highest money winner declared will become eligible to the final. If the number of horses tied in money earnings for the last eligible starting position increases the field to more than ten horses, they will be drawn by lot to constitute a ten-horse field. If enough money winners fail to declare in for the final, starters in the series that are not money winners and declared for the final may increase the field to ten horses.
The Valedictory and Niagara (fillies) were open to three-year-olds in 2020, non-winners of $60,000 lifetime as of October 31, 2020.
The entry box for the Valedictory and Niagara finals closes Tuesday morning (March 30) at 10:30 am.
