Woodbine Entertainment confirmed Friday (June 4) that the 2021 Mohawk Million will take place on Saturday, Sept. 25, at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The $1 million race for two-year-old trotters uses a “buy-in” format. A total of nine slots for the race were available for purchase, each priced at $100,000 (CAD). Each slot owner was required to submit two $50,000 payments to secure their slot.

The deadline to submit the second payment of $50,000 was June 1, 2021, and Woodbine Entertainment received the necessary payment from all slot owners to confirm the second edition of the Mohawk Million.

The slot owners for this year’s Mohawk Million are listed below:

• Brad Grant
• Crawford Farms
• Determination (two slots)
• EquineX (two slots)
• Gino Toscani (two slots)
• Steve Heimbecker

The 10th and final slot in this year’s Mohawk Million will be awarded to the winner of the William Wellwood Memorial on Saturday, Sept. 11.

Slot owners for the Mohawk Million are not required to declare a two-year-old trotter for their slot until the week of the race.

With baby races set to begin across North America, the build-up and discussion towards this year’s Mohawk Million begins. Woodbine will start to track this year’s crop of two-year-old trotters and provide profiles on each of this year’s slot owners through its website and social media channels.
