It is with deep regret that the Quebec Jockey Club has announced that opening day for the 2021 harness racing meet at the Hippodrome 3R has been postponed due to the pandemic.

“We have not yet been given the green light to start racing at H3R,” said Murielle Thomassin, Director of Racing at the Hippodrome 3R. “The opening date was planned for Sunday (May 2), but due to not receiving the go ahead to operate from the Quebec government yet, the next opening date is now scheduled for May 9.”
