Come to the backstretch of Fraser Downs for a free tour of the barn area and lunch on Saturday, August 11, 2012
Barn tours start around 10:30am and you get to meet some of the trainers and racehorses while following your guide around the backstretch. They are running qualifying races for the Standardbred horses in the morning and if they're late the start time for the tours will be delayed.
Lunch will be served from 11:30am to 1:30pm. I hear they will be barbecuing hamburgers.
Open house ends at 2pm.
Best way to get to the backstretch is head down 176th Street to 62nd Avenue and drive east. There are traffic lights there and the rec centre is on the corner and the red barn to the Agriplex is down the road. The best place to park is in the parking lot next to the Agriplex. The parking lot for the barn area across the street is probably already full of cars of the backstretch employees. Just walk across the street and sign up for a tour and enter to win prizes.
