pleased to announce both a Futurity and Maturity divi- sion at the Provincial Cham- pionships this fall sponsored by our long-time supporter, Kodiak Steel Buildings. The Futurity division is for 3 & 4 year-old horses and, given we had no races last year, the Maturity division is for 5 & 6 year-olds who may have lost the chance to com- pete in Futurity in 2020, and who have not previously won the Futurity.

racing summer – we hope to see you in the arena! - Tracy Galvin
