Toronto, ON — Eight 3-year-old colt pacers were entered Tuesday (Sept. 11) for the Ontario Sires Stakes Gold elimination scheduled to be contested on Saturday (Sept. 15) at Mohawk Racetrack.

The OSS rules state that if there are not more horses entered in the elimination than can compete in the final, the elimination will be canceled and all horses will be considered declared directly into the final to be held the following week. Therefore, the Gold elimination for 3-year-old colt pacers scheduled for Sept. 15 at Mohawk Racetrack is canceled.

The C$130,000 Gold final will be held on Saturday (Sept. 22) as scheduled and the post positions will be drawn on Saturday (Sept. 15), when the final would normally have been drawn.

According to OSS rules concerning the points for the Super Final, the 100 points from the canceled elimination will be distributed equally between the eight horses that entered the event.

The field for the final (in alphabetical order): Aslan, Hard To Mach, Goban, I Found My Beach, Mel Mara, Piston Broke, Secretsoftheknight, and Warrawee Needy.
