The Raceway at Western Fair District has temporarily suspended live racing until further notice due to the continued spread of COVID-19.

"We wish to thank our horsepeople, and staff for their tremendous co-operative efforts this past week in allowing us to conduct racing," said Western Fair in a statement issued on Thursday night. "However, as the virus spreads, the risks to community associated with racing make it difficult to continue. The Raceway will keep everyone updated on the status of the return of live racing in London in the coming days."
