Interesting choice of race Mike.
For those that don't know, Hastings Park is a bull-ring track located in the city of Vancouver in one of the most beautiful places you will ever see, British Columbia. The track has been running since the 1800's.
It is the track most familiar to my father-in-law who lives just across the water on Vancouver Island. At almost 90 he still occasionally hops on the ferry for a visit.
Anyways here is an interesting factoid about this race. It is running at 9 furlongs. If it wasn't for the chute they would have to cross the finish line three times... like Charlestown. Before Sept 10 they have only run two 9 furlong races this year. On Sept 10 there are four of them. All stakes. Probably doesn't mean much except that this certainly isn't your everyday 6 furlong sprint at any other track.
Match'em up boys,
Pook
