Driver Trevor Henry, one of the nation’s leading drivers and graduate of The Raceway at Western Fair District, is graciously donating his driving commissions from last night’s (Thursday) program at Woodbine to long-time Western Fair employee Bobby Mitz who continues to recuperate from recent heart surgery.
Henry is one of many horsepeople stepping up to help the affable paddock employee from London. This Monday, several of the Raceway’s drivers and trainers will also donate a portion of their commissions from that night’s card.
A donation box has been set up in The Raceway paddock and donations will be accepted up until the end of Monday’s program.
Live harness racing is set for this evening at The Raceway beginning at 7:05 p.m. Customers are reminded that the Annex will be closed due to the Annual Farm Show and in appreciation The Raceway will be offering $1 programs and $1 coffee and tea throughout the evening.
