The Ontario Racing Commission has approved an application from Windsor Raceway Inc. to modify its
February race date schedule. This change was applied for to accommodate a Pilot Project that will see extended race cards with up to 18 races on Sundays during the month of February.
Following consultation with the industry it was determined a short pilot of extended cards would provide horsepeople, the racetrack and the regulators alike with information to determine if extended race cards will work in the Windsor area at this time.
The four Saturday race dates which were dropped to accommodate the extended Sunday cards have been reallocated to Fridays in October.
The approval also included an application to drop Sunday, May 23 and add Wednesday, April 28th.
