WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) -- The $342,875 Cane Pace, the first jewel in harness racing's Pacing Triple Crown, has been moved to Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs because of flooding in the Tioga Downs area in Nichols, N.Y.
Two $60,000 divisions of the Shady Daisy Stakes, for 3-year-old pacing fillies, also were moved to Pocono Downs for Saturday night. The Shady Daisy divisions will be raced at 5 p.m., prior to the regular 6:30 card. The Cane Pace will be race No. 13, scheduled for 9:54 p.m., approximately.
Roll With Joe, who won the million-dollar Meadowlands Pace and $500,000 Battle of the Brandywine, headlines a nine-horse field for the Cane Pace. Trained by Ed Hart, Roll With Joe is this year's richest harness racing horse in North America, with $1.22 million in earnings.
