With Ontario entering Step One of the ‘Roadmap to Reopen’ plan earlier than originally expected, Woodbine Entertainment management announced that Standardbred racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park will resume this Friday (June 11) and Saturday (June 12) with 7 p.m. post times.
Racing will then continue its typical five race days per week schedule, with live Standardbred racing on Monday (June 14).
“While it has been a very frustrating period, I would like to thank the Government of Ontario for the recent attention it has given the horse racing industry,” said Jim Lawson, CEO, Woodbine Entertainment. “In particular, I would like to thank Premier Doug Ford for his understanding and interest in the plight of the horse racing industry that has been so greatly impacted by the global pandemic and ensuing government restrictions.”
Live racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park will operate without any spectators due to government restrictions.
