Woodbine Entertainment Group - Breakfast Sponsor
Woodbine Entertainment Group, which owns and operates Woodbine and Mohawk Racetracks in Canada, is respected throughout North America and across the world as one of the most innovative organizations in horse racing.
Woodbine hosts six million visitors annually and is home to The Queen's Plate, North America's oldest continuously-run stakes race, as well as four Grade 1 thoroughbred stakes events, all on our renowned E.P. Taylor Turf Course (Ricoh Woodbine Mile, Northern Dancer, Pattison Canadian International, E.P. Taylor). It will offer another 16 Grade 2 stakes races and 24 Grade 3 events in 2015.
Woodbine has also been home to many legends of the turf. From Secretariat and Cigar, who each made their last start at Woodbine, to Dahlia and Snow Knight and Youth and more recently Wise Dan, to home-grown heroes, Northern Dancer and Sunny's Halo and Chief Bearhart, Woodbine has always been the jewel of the north in racing.
Standardbred racing in Ontario is among the best in the world and the province has always had a strong grass roots base in the sport. The 31st edition of the Pepsi North America Cup, set for June at Mohawk, is Canada's highest profile harness racing event.
