A number of fall 2017 race dates previously slated for Mohawk Racetrack will be shifted to Woodbine Racetrack.

Ontario Racing is mandated with providing recommendations to the OLG and the AGCO on matters relating to the annual Ontario racing program. On May 29, 2017, Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG), as administrator of the Standardbred Alliance, submitted an application to move 12 race dates in October/November from Mohawk to Woodbine to accommodate necessary capital improvements and construction at Mohawk.

Ontario Racing's board approved this variance, which will shift the current scheduled race cards from Mohawk to Woodbine on October 19, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 30 and November 2, 3, 4, 6. It is noted that the schedule will not impact the Ontario Sires Stakes season, which concludes (Super Finals) at Mohawk on October 14, 2017.
