2CT Prospect Series Cancelled at Georgian
INNISFIL, AUGUST 30, 2023 – Georgian Downs cancelled live racing on August 29 midway through the card due to unsafe track conditions, and as a result the Prospect Series division in race eight was not contested.
The Standardbred Improvement Program committee has decided to equally divide the purse and points among the seven horses that were not scratched from the eighth race.
All participants have been notified, and the Prospect Series standings will be updated on September 5 to reflect this result.
