Quarter Horses moved to a more suitable venue – Evergreen Park.

Grande Prairie, Alberta – Two feature Quarter Horse races that were scheduled to be run at Edmonton’s Northlands Park have been rescheduled to Grande Prairie’s Evergreen Park and will be contested on Monday’s (August 1^st) holiday race card.

“A number of factors contributed to the necessity of moving the races.” said Pat Hill, Manager of Horse Racing at Evergreen Park.  “From not enough qualified jockeys in Edmonton to the logistics of wiring the Starting Gate for the specifics of timing Quarter Horse Races.”

“Our job as a racetrack is to get purse money into the pockets of the horse owners so they in turn can reinvest in the industry.  We are ecstatic that the Alberta Quarter Horse Racing Association and Horse Racing Albert have offered us this opportunity. It is yet another opportunity to showcase our exceptional racing surface and racetrack configuration.” Added Hill.

Evergreen Park’s racetrack is one of the best in North America for the racing of Quarter Horses and often hosts world class Quarter Horse races. Even at this, it is so rare for a feature race to be moved that local horsemen can’t remember such an event since the Canadian Derby was loaned to Northlands by Winnipeg’s Assiniboia Downs in 1954.

The races carry purses of just under $20,000 and just under $10,000 respectively and will be conducted as races 7 and 8 on the Monday race card. First Race post time on Monday is 1pm.

Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse Racing is conducted at Evergreen Park now till the end of August on Friday and Saturday nights at 6pm and Sunday afternoons at 1pm.
