The Battle of the Foothills chuckwagon races scheduled for July 18 in High River have been cancelled due to the smoke. Day 3 will run Monday July 19 instead.

The World Professional Chuckwagon Association and the High River Agricultural Society in consultation with their professional veterinarians have made the decision to postpone tonight's Battle of the Foothills until tomorrow Monday July 19th at 7:00PM

The World Professional Chuckwagon Association and the High River Agricultural Society take the health and safety of our equine athletes and human guests very seriously.

With the Air Quality Index currently at 10 as a result of smoke from multiple forest fires, both the Veterinarian's and Environment Canada have suggested the Air quality can pose a health risk to both horses and humans.

We look forward to experiencing another energy filled 9 heats of racing with our fans tomorrow night at 7:00pm.

All tickets and seats purchased for Sunday July 18th will be honoured for Monday July 19th.
