Hanover Raceway’s fan capacity will expand to 635 this Saturday, July 17, just in time for the OLG Ontario Women’s Driving Championship and the first of six provincial stakes events the Grey County oval will host this summer.
Eight of Ontario’s top female drivers will compete in the first five races on the Saturday afternoon program, vying for points in the driving championship which continues on Sunday, July 18 at Dresden Raceway, and the afternoon will wrap up with a pair of $7,000 Ontario Racing Prospect Series divisions for the two-year-old pacing colts.
Natasha Day will be vying for the driving title and will also be in the race bike behind Shanghai Ky in the first Prospect Series division for trainer Scott McNiven and owners Kimberley McNiven of Putnam and Donald Douglas of Ingersoll, ON. The pair will start from Post 2 in a field that includes both winners of the July 9 season opener, Words Fail Me from Post 1 and Two Drinks Ago from Post 5.
