Nothing goes better together than a hot summer afternoon on a long weekend, the thrill of top notch Canadian harness racing, and a handicapping contest!

Industry Day at Grand River Raceway is always top of mind this time of year with over $700,000 in purse money, the long-awaited Battle of Waterloo & Battle of the Belles stakes, and a multitude of other exciting attractions for fans of all ages! First race post time for Industry Day is 1:30 PM.

To commemorate Industry Day, the Fan Club will offer an online contest featuring an assortment of questions based on the Industry Day card of racing. Each question will be worth a predetermined number of points. The contestant who earns the highest number of points out of a possible 20 will be declared the winner.
