First Qualifiers to Canterbury Big 10 BCBC Contest, Special $25,000 Labor Day Pick & Pray Plus Several All Optional Live Cash Games Among the Attractions During Extended Holiday Weekend at HorseTourneys

On the racetrack, Labor Day weekend includes Pacific Classic Day at Del Mar, closing weekend at Saratoga and opening weekend at Kentucky Downs.
