FRESNO, Calif. (KGPE/KSEE) – Friday is the third day of the Fresno Fair – the day the horse races begin.
Organizers say a lot of the horse races are usually set at a grand prize of $10,000 – but the seventh race of the first day has a $50,000 prize.
One of the horses has a special connection to the Central Valley; his name is Clovis Connection. Clovis Connection is also a California-bred horse which makes his achievements all the more important for the horse, owners, and breeders.
“The money generated in the betting goes into a pool and the owners and breeders make money off their horses being born and raised in California,” said Blaine Wright, Clovis Connection’s trainer.
