The Raceway at Western Fair District and Flamboro Downs – both member tracks of Ontario Racing (OR) – have jointly announced a 10 per cent purse increase for the balance of their spring meets.
The additional purse money, as well as added races that had been carded in recent weeks, will offset the cancelled programs suffered at both venues this past winter season due to unfavourable weather throughout Southern Ontario.
Enhanced purses will also be offered on the tracks’ signature nights – the Confederation Cup program at Flamboro on Sunday, May 19 and the Camluck Classic program at The Raceway on Friday, May 31.
Flamboro features live racing every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 6:35 p.m. while The Raceway goes every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. and Friday nights at 6:55 p.m.
