Thirty-seven - from a pool of 43 - of the finest pacing mares in training are scheduled to compete in Races 3,4,5,7 and 8.
A quick perusal of the overnight sheet finds Krispy Apple (Tim Tetrick, post 7) and local standout Breakheart Pass(Jason Bartlett, post 6) leading the first division, while the second division includes returning standouts in New Album (Tetrick, post 1) and Western Silk (George Brennan, post 4).
Friday night's third Matchmaker event is loaded, with Overbid winner - and last season's Older Female Pacer divisional winner - Anndrovette (Tetrick, post 3), 2009 Matchmaker winner Pancleefandarpels (Jim Pantaleano, post 5), 2011 Lismore winner, JK Owhatanite (Brian Sears, post 6) and 2011 Lady Maud winner, Rocklamation (Sears also listed, post 7).
