The focus on the Woodbine season thus far has been with the thoroughbreds and as their season winds down, the spotlight turns this Saturday to the Standardbreds, more specifically Ontario breds.  The Ontario Sires Stakes program wraps up its 2008 season at Woodbine with 8 separate divisions, vying for at total purse of 2.4 mill ion dollars!  Each division goes for $ 300,000 and by far the main attraction will be the 3 y.r old colt pace featuring Somebeachsomewhere, who has been listed as the overwhelming 1/5 choice.  Canadians will get one last treat to witness this world champion, as he makes his final start on Canadian soil.  The Americans will get the final opportunity when he makes the final start of his career at the Meadowlands in this years Breeder’s Crown, on November 27th.  At seasons end, the Mach Three pacer will stand stud at Hanover Shoes Farm for a stud fee of  $ 20,000.
 
Other notable divisions include the 2 yr old colt pace featuring the Robert McIntosh freshman Nebupanezzar, 2 yr old filly pace – St. Lads Popcorn,  3 yr old filly pace – Voelz Hanover.  On top of those races the trotters will also be contested in 4 divisions of their own, making this a night to remember. Post time is 7:30 pm.
 
Best of luck to all of those entered in this years showcase of O.S.S stars!  Go gettum  THE HANOVER KID.
