Harness racing is set to return to Century Downs on Tuesday (May 18) with the oval hosting a 12-race card beginning at 2:15 p.m. (MDT)
The feature race on the card sees a group of nine face the gate in the finale in the $8,100 Open Pace.
Morning line favourite Just A Start (Post 7 – Brandon Campbell) will make his third start of the season, and he’ll be looking for his first win of the campaign after third- and fifth-place finishes at Fraser Downs. The five-year-old son of Western Terror is a seven-time winner to date.
Armycaptin Hanover (Post 6 – Kelly Hoerdt) is the 7-2 second choice, and he has yet to miss the board in his first three starts of the year. He notched a 1:53.4 win versus Open foes at Fraser Downs on April 9 before getting roughed up and finishing third in that same class one week later. The 13-time winner is closing in on $75,000 in lifetime earnings.
