After a four-month hiatus, live harness racing returns to London, Ontario, tonight at the track now known as 'The Raceway at Western Fair District.'
The return of racing coincides with the annual Forest City Sale, which is also held at the Western Fair District, and starts at noon on both Saturday and Sunday.
The 51st season of live racing at 'The Raceway' gets underway at 7:05 this evening. The track’s schedule for this meet is four days a week, Mondays and Tuesdays with a 3:35 p.m. first-race post time and Fridays and Saturdays which have a 7:05 p.m. start.
Opening night features include a commemorative t-shirt giveaway with the shirt showing the new company logo and a chance to compete for cash in the ‘Money Machine Madness.’ A new wager will be unveiled on opening night, a Pick 5 which will replace the early Pick 4. It will be a $1 base wager offered at a 15 per cent takeout rate. If no one is successful at selecting all five winners, 75 per cent of that day’s net pool will be carried over to the next race day.
