MAJCR CHANGES in the format
of the annual Sovereign Awards
dinner have been announced by
George Frostad, chairman of the
Joct.cy Club of Canada.

The dinner honoring the cham-
pions of 1986 will be held in the
final week of the racing season
rather than late in April next year
as has been the custom in the past.

From this season on, the
Sovereign Awards will be pres-
ented in early December at the
close of the Canadian racing
season.

The 1986 awards dinner will be
held in Toronto at the Constetla-
tion Hotel on Dec. 12.

For the first time ever, winners
of the Sovereign Awards in most
categories including that for Horse
of the Year will not be announced
until the results of the national
voting are revealed at the awards
dinner. .

The list of those involved in
voting for Sovereign Award win-
ners is being enlarged to include
over 70,

In the future, the national list of
voters will be asked to select not
only the divisional champions in
each age and sex bracket including
Horse of the Year, but a number
of other award winners as well.

‘The voters will determine the
Outstanding Owner and Trainer,
the Outstanding Apprentice
Jockey, Outstanding Jockey,
Breeder of the Year and the
Outstanding Broodmare of the
Year.

Sweep six
swept away

THE DAILY Double is back at the
Exhibition Park Racetrack...the
Sweep Six is gone.

The B.C. Jockey Club recently
announced two major changes to
its wagering program.

As of July 30, the Sweep Six was
dropped and the Daily Double
returned on races one and two.

The Win Three moves to races
four, five and six.

There will be Quinella wagering
on races one and five and Exactor
wagering on races two, three, four,
six, seven and eight.

The Triactor 1emains on the
ninth race.

The changes come as the result
of an extensive survey conducted
by the track among its patrons.

‘‘We're simply going back to the
basics by popular demand"’, said
B.C. Jockey Club general manager
Merv Peters. ‘‘In a canvass of our
regular patrons, they were over-
whelmingly in favor of the Daily
Double. The Sweep Six was last in
preference by most.”’

Post parade at the track is on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday at
6:15 p.m. First post parade on
Saturday and Sunday is 12:45 p.m.
