Trois-Rivieres, QC — Even before the first race was held on Sunday (June 24), the festivities at the Hippodrome 3R for the inaugural Ben Hur Cup, were well underway.

There was a live Standardbred race horse to greet race fans as they came into the grandstand entrance.

Both Sylvain Filion and Louis-Phillipe Roy came early to the track to meet and greet the hundreds of race fans that came to see them compete.
