Western Fair Race Date Change Approved

Published: December 13, 2021 03:30 pm EST

The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has approved the application to vary the 2021 race date schedule for The Raceway at Western Fair District.

The race date schedule for Western Fair has been amended to delete one race date on Sunday, Dec. 19, 2021.

The application made by The WFA Raceway Corporation to vary the 2021 race date schedule was reviewed by Ontario Racing and Ontario Lottery and Gaming, and recommendations for approval of the changes were received from both organizations.

The approved changes to the 2021 race date schedule are also conditional upon approval by the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency.

"In an effort to strengthen field sizes across the province and increase races per day over the balance of December, The Raceway has cancelled this Sunday’s program," Tony Elliott, racing manager at The Raceway at Western Fair District, told Trot Insider. "The racing schedule ramps up starting next week with race cards on Monday, December 20, Tuesday, December 21, Thursday, December 23 and a special Boxing Day card on December 26, as well as a New Year's Eve race card on December 31. The Raceway will race four days a week starting in January."
