Each horse’s country of representation was determined by ownership and/or sire.

“These are some of the best trotters in training and we’re very happy they’ve accepted our invitations,” racing secretary Steve Starr said. “I’m expecting a great race.”

As far as the United States entrant, Starr said that should be finalized in the next week or so.
