At 2h45, on April 10, 2021 • By TROIS-RIVIERES

Management at the Quebec Jockey Club has announced that the harness racing qualifiers scheduled for Saturday, April 10 have been cancelled at the Hippodrome 3R.

“We have not yet received permission from the Quebec government to start racing due to Covid-19,” said Director of Racing Murielle Thomassin. “Fortunately, we scheduled three weeks of qualifying racing in April, just in case we could not get underway this weekend.”

The Hippodrome 3R is scheduled to start its 2021 racing season on Sunday, May 2.

“We are hopeful that we will get permission to race soon,” Thomassin added. “We raced last year from June to November without any Covid cases. We have all the protocols in place again for this year.
