The California Amateur Driving Club (CADC) and the California Harness Horsemen�s Association (CHHA) have announced two late-closing series for amateur drivers, and each series will feature two and a final with an estimated purse of $8,000.

The first series, to be contested beginning on Saturday June 6 for three consecutive Saturdays, is a conditioned claiming event with tags on the first two legs of $3,000 and $3,500 plus allowances. The second series is limited to filly and mare claimers with the same claiming prices, plus allowances, and will be contested on three successive Saturdays beginning July 11. No claiming will be permitted in the final for each series. Nominations for both series close the Monday prior to the first leg.

Complete details of the series are available at www.thecadc.com/2009Series.pdf

The CHHA and track management have been supportive of amateur racing since its re-emergence in the summer of 2005 when the State Fair, the meet�s current operator, took over.

"There is little doubt that the California amateur program is the strongest track-based one in the country. Given the challenges of an 'island meet', amateur driving not only provides for a varied program for fans, but serves a purpose for lesser experienced drivers to be competitive and to show to potential owners another side of ownership unavailable with thoroughbreds or quarter horses," said general manager Dave Elliott.
