Claude Levesque, president of the Québec Jockey Club and prominent Standardbred owner and breeder, is excited for the start of the 2021 race season at Hippodrome 3R. There is not that much to say, Levesque laughed, except that we are very excited to get our race meet underway and that we are ready to race!
The Hippodrome 3R opening day Friday (May 7) card gets underway with a special post time of 5:30 p.m. A free race program is available at www.hippodrome3r.ca. The weather forecast for Friday is excellent, Levesque added. “Our racetrack surface is in prime shape. We have 10 races, all with full fields of eight horses, and I know that our horsepeople are ready to return to racing.
