Milton, ON — Woodbine Entertainment management has announced that Friday night’s (June 30) card of live racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park is canceled due to poor air quality.

Environment Canada’s air quality index for Milton is listed as ‘High Risk’ and expected to remain at this level into Friday night. Woodbine’s decision to cancel comes through consultation with the Central Ontario Standardbred Association (COSA) and is consistent with the AGCO air quality guidelines.

Woodbine’s top priority is the health and safety of its equine athletes and racing participants.

The Ontario Sires Stakes Gold event for 3-year-old trotting fillies scheduled for Friday has now been postponed to Thursday (July 6).

Live racing is scheduled to resume on Saturday evening at 7 p.m.

Woodbine will continue to monitor the conditions and provide further updates as required.
