International Women’s Day Race set for March 8 at Woodbine Mohawk Park

MILTON, February 28, 2024 – Woodbine Entertainment will be celebrating International Women’s Day with a special race on Friday, March 8 at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

As part of the celebrations, Woodbine’s simulcast show will feature Woodbine hosts Elissa Blowe, Monique Vág and former Woodbine commentator Renee Kierans. The broadcast will shine a spotlight on the women of harness racing throughout the entire evening.
