HANOVER, ON – June 28, 2021 – Hanover Raceway will be permitted under Stage Two of the Ontario’s re-opening plan to have 317 fans able to attend live harness racing, beginning on Saturday, July 3rd.
The only registration method will be the on-line registration system, which will open on Wednesdays at 9:00 am for that week’s race card, at register.hanoverraceway.com. Registrations will be available until 10:00 am Saturday morning or until the limit of 317 is reached.
The track will not be taking any bookings by phone or email. This system will ensure ease of contact tracing for all guests, as part of the provinces conditions for re-opening. Guests will also be asked to engage in passive COVID-19 on-line screening form and are welcomed to the track if they:
- Have no symptoms (fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, or shortness of breath)
- Have not travelled outside of Canada in the past 14 days
- Have not been in close contact with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19
Hanover asks that all guests wear a face covering when arriving at the parking lot to check in, as well as when interacting with staff on-site. It also asks that you wear a face covering when you are within six feet of someone that is not from your household. Otherwise, guests are not required to wear a face covering if they adhere to those conditions in an outdoor setting.
Maximum six guests at a table together on the Tarmac.
The Raceway will have an outside food booth available for your food and beverage needs, as well as two betting windows with tellers and a self serve machine, which will be on the Tarmac for your convenience. Washrooms will be available and are located in the bottom of the grandstand.
Checked in fans will not be eligible to go to the backstretch, regardless of their AGCO eligibility.
“We’re very pleased to welcome a reasonable number of fans back to Hanover Raceway to watch the races live. It will be an exciting day starting on Saturday, July 3rd. Please adhere to the necessary rules that will keep everyone safe and we look forward to seeing you again.” said Hanover Raceway General Manager Steve Fitzsimmons.
