With Halton Region currently in the red “control” zone, Woodbine Entertainment has released updated protocols for owners attending the races at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
Starting Thursday (Nov. 19), Woodbine will permit one owner, plus one guest, access to the Woodbine Mohawk Park apron for only the race their horse is competing in. The owner and guest will not be allowed entry to the Grandstand until 10 minutes prior to the race and must exit five minutes after the race. If an owner has another horse racing that evening, the owner and guest must return to their vehicles until 10 minutes prior to their next race.
Access to the apron will be gained through the employee entrance (located on the West End beside the Paddock). At the point of entry, each owner shall present their AGCO Licence and undergo screening and a temperature check. Physical distancing must be practiced at all times. When exiting, owners shall exit through the front doors of the grandstand. Access to the grandstand is only for the purpose of traveling to the apron and exiting.
Owners must sign up online prior to attending their race.
