Due to the shutdown of Ontario racing, one of the top Canadian harness driving stars, Jody Jamieson, will spend his weekends at Tioga Downs this May.
Jamieson 44, has won over 8,000 races in his illustrious career. He captured the World Championship for Canada in 2001. In 2007 and 2009 he won the O'Brien Award as Canada’s Driver of the Year. He also won the North American dash crown with 796 wins in 2009.
Jamieson will get to trade blows with Hall of Famer Wally Hennessey. Hennessey is the two-time defending Tioga Downs dash champion. Tioga fans will get the opportunity to witness two of the all-time greats of the sport go at it.
Tioga Downs opens for the 2021 season on Saturday, May 1.

Good news!! We want to know
Good news!! We want to know more about where Ontario drivers and trainers will be racing.
The government should care more about the horse racing industry in Ontario that brings
millions$$$$ into the government coffers every year. All is well in the USA, every American State is allowing horse racing to operate, but for some illogical reason, government officials in Ontario, once again, couldn't care less about horse racing industry in Ontario, just like the decision they made to close Windsor racetrack. Shame on them all!
Good Luck Jody I sure hope
Good Luck Jody I sure hope things go great for you. We sure hope you come back.
