The latest Week In Review MashUp includes action from race nights on May 21 and 23. The highlights include a driving quadruple for Robert Shepherd, win #35 for veteran campaigner Chinnys Wings, and a whopping 95-1 maiden score for Final Encore.

This weekend’s festivities are partnered initiatives with the Hands On Horses Program. Grand River’s Showtime Staff Training on Friday and Saturday will provide front-line employees with the track, and OLG, with a hands-on appreciation and understanding of the harness racing industry.

The track’s fourth annual backstretch Open House on Sunday runs 11:00 – 2:00 and guests are invited to drop-in any time for a rare glimpse of horse racing behind-the-scenes. A full tour of the Open House’s six main stations will last approximately one hour. The itinerary includes the unique opportunity to drive a racehorse.
