Harness: Live racing returns to Fraser Downs on February 8

Fraser Downs in Surrey, British Columbia is thrilled about the restart of harness racing meet on the 5/8ths oval on Thursday February 8. Following a planned break in December and January, and an additional week due to adverse weather conditions in the region, Fraser Downs is back with some new features and some great offers for players.

Starting on Thursday, the Double is now going to have a new $2 minimum bet, providing the opportunity to increase the payouts on the pool. Additionally, the track will be adding a late Double on the last two races of the program.

What sets Fraser Downs apart is its commitment to providing some of the lowest takeouts in the harness racing industry. With just 15% takeout on various bet types including Win, Place, Show, Double, Hi5, Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5, Fraser Downs is ensuring that more winnings stay in the hands of the fans.

Dawn Lupul, Manager of Racing and Communications at Fraser Downs, expressed her excitement about the return of live racing, stating, "After the recent challenges posed by the weather in BC, we’re thrilled to be getting back to racing!”

Racing enthusiasts can catch all the action every Thursday and Friday nights through April 26, with the races starting at 7 pm Pacific Time / 10 pm Eastern Time each night. The racing is broadcast in full high-definition through Roberts Communication Network and YouTube Live.
