The news comes after the AGCO and OLG approved race dates last week for Woodbine Mohawk Park in addition to Woodbine Racetrack, Fort Erie Race Track and Ajax Downs.

In a press release announcing the race dates on Tuesday, March 24, Ontario Racing (OR) stated it provided each racetrack with an equitable recommendation of race dates balanced against industry horse supply. In response, racetracks provided input which was collated, reviewed and accommodated by a working group. As such, these 10 race date calendars have full industry alignment to move forward into the 2026 racing season.

Race dates for Rideau Carleton Raceway will be announced when available.

OR reiterated that the Ontario horse racing industry is fortunate to have stable, long-term funding from the Province of Ontario. The long-term funding agreement signed in 2019 provides up to $120 million annually to the industry through 2038 via the OLG through OR.
