Elora, ON — Grand River Raceway reminds all prospective contenders in the 2013 Battle of Waterloo and Battle of the Belles, that nomination payments must be postmarked no later than today, April 30.
A sponsorship of C$75,000 from the track’s parent company, the Grand River Agricultural Society, has ensured the continuation of the races during the 23rd annual Industry Day Celebration on the afternoon of Monday (August 5).
The sum will be split with C$50,000 going toward the total purse for the Battle of Waterloo and C$25,000 going toward the total purse for the Battle of the Belles.
The classification for these races remains the same as in past years. The 16th annual Battle of Waterloo is for Ontario-sired 2-year-old pacing colts. The fifth annual Battle of the Belles is for Ontario-sired 2-year-old pacing fillies.
Both races have been extensively reformatted, including a single eligibility payment (versus three). This change was necessary for 2013, given the time restraints created by the delay of the Ontario racing calendar post-SARP.
