Western Fair: Post positions drawn for Camluck Classic, Forest City Pace

The post position draws are complete for two of the featured events on a highly anticipated Friday night program at The Raceway: the C$150,000 Camluck Classic presented by Seelster Farms and the C$50,000 Forest City Pace.

In the Camluck Classic, Ohio invader Helium N has secured the coveted rail position. The son of Sweet Lou enters the race with impressive credentials, including a 1:46 4/5 track record performance at Scioto Downs, and will be making his first start at The Raceway. Helium N is trained by Christi Noble and will be driven by Dan Noble.

Brue Hanover, who crossed the finish line first in last year's Camluck Classic before being disqualified and placed third, will begin from post position seven. He is trained by Dave Menary and will once again be driven by James MacDonald.

Lou Hill, currently the fastest aged gelding on a half-mile track in North America this season by virtue of a 1:50 victory at Yonkers Raceway, drew post position three. He is trained by Per Engblom and will be handled by reigning United States Driver of the Year Jason Bartlett.

The remainder of the Camluck Classic field in post position order is as follows: Poseidon Seelster (post two), Chase H Hanover (post four), Donegal Luther N (post five), Lous World (post six) and Calicojack Hanover (post eight).

Total purses for the evening will exceed C$500,000, the richest night of the racing season.

The complete draw for the card will take place Tuesday morning. First post time on Friday is scheduled for 5:50 p.m. (EDT).
