Focus on Mohawk Million and rookie trots as deadline nears

Milton, ON — Woodbine Entertainment management is reminding all interested parties of its upcoming stakes nomination deadline on Feb. 18, with a focus on the Mohawk Million and its major 2-year-old trotting events.

The Mohawk Million follows a buy-in formula with nine slots available for purchase at a cost of $110,000. The tenth and final spot will be awarded to the winner of the William Wellwood Memorial.

The William Wellwood Memorial has received a purse increase in 2020 with the final estimated at C$610,000.

Any 2-year-old trotting fillies eligible to the Peaceful Way will be able to enter the William Wellwood Memorial by paying a C$5,000 starting fee.

The William Wellwood Memorial and Peaceful Way will take place on Saturday (Sept. 12). The Mohawk Million is scheduled for Saturday (Sept. 26).

The deadline to nominate to each event is Tuesday (Feb. 18).

The Mohawk Million requires a $55,000 nomination fee by Feb. 18 to be eligible for a slot in the $1 million race. The other $55,000 is due June 1. If more than nine nominations are received, a draw will be held to determine the slot recipients.
