Milton, ON — Woodbine Entertainment is proud to celebrate International Women’s Day during this Saturday’s (March 7) card of live racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The Woodbine Racing Live simulcast show will be entirely dedicated to women in harness racing, featuring interviews and selections from prominent females in the sport.

Host Monique Vág will then be joined by Joanne Colville (Woodbine outrider, Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society), Nancy Takter (Grand Circuit trainer) and Natasha Day (driver).

The show will also include selections from female handicappers and a video tribute to women in harness racing prior to the evening’s first race. Once the races begin, Chad Rozema will be catching up with female participants for interviews between races.
