There is more than $500,000 in purses up for grabs as Hippodrome 3R hosts its Super Sunday Quebec-Bred Championship Finals for two and three-year-old trotters and pacers on Sunday (Sept. 11).

The Quebec Jockey Club and Standardbred Canada celebrated National Caretaker Appreciation Day at Hippodrome 3R during the Sunday, Sept. 4 afternoon program that featured a pair of Preferred events.

With sunny skies and 70 degrees, the racing conditions were perfect at Hippodrome 3R on Friday (Sept. 2) for horses that like racing on the front-end. Such was the case in both co-feature races and in five of the 10 races on the card.

Little Diamond may be on the smaller side when compared to other harness racing horses, but the two-year-old colt has a huge heart and showed it Sunday (Aug. 28) at the Hippodrome 3R, scoring his fourth straight win in taking his division of the Future Stars Series.

Despite earlier thunderstorms that left the racetrack "sloppy" with a two-second allowance, the young trotters competing in the third and final leg of the Future Stars Series at the Hippodrome 3R plowed forward.
