TORONTO, August 17, 2024— In the interest of safety for our horses and all racing participants, and after consultation with the HBPA, jockeys, and veterinarians, Woodbine Entertainment has cancelled the remainder of Saturday’s live racing card due to unsafe racing conditions caused by heavy rains in the Greater Toronto Area. ​
