“When this opportunity came about, we thought it made sense for the association to explore,” said Reg Ash, Western Fair Association CEO. “It is a fantastic property that is ideally located in a rapidly growing municipality and further supports live racing in this part of the province. This demonstrates our commitment to a vibrant racing industry in Southwestern Ontario.”

“It’s very encouraging to eclipse last year’s record wagering numbers,” said Greg Blanchard, Director of Equine Programming. “The numbers are solid for a small half-mile track such as ours and is something that our entire team takes pride in. It gives us a nice boost as we head into the final two months of our spring meet – our most exciting part of the season.”
