Woodbine Driving Colony to pledge earnings to Myers’ family

MILTON, March 21, 2025 – Following this week’s tragic passing of driver Hunter Myers, the Woodbine Mohawk Park driving colony will be pledging earnings to the fiancée and young son of Myers.

“The passing of Hunter has hit close to home for all of us in the racing community,” said James MacDonald. “Hunter was a terrific person and we’re all heartbroken by this tragedy…it’s truly unimaginable.”

The Woodbine driving colony will be donating various amounts of their earnings from this weekend’s races to Myers’ family and are encouraging any owners and trainers that can support to make a pledge as well.

“Just like everyone else, all of us in the Mohawk driver’s room immediately wanted to support his fiancée, Chloe, and their son, Hayden, in any possible way. Our industry always steps up.”

Any owners and trainers that would like to donate are asked to contact the Mohawk Bookkeeper through email at mohawkbookkeeper@woodbine.com.

Woodbine will also be donating to the family of Hunter Myers.

Woodbine Mohawk Park held a tribute and moment of silence for Myers ahead of Thursday’s first race. All drivers wore green armbands in memory of Myers and will continue to wear them over the course of the weekend.

Woodbine extends its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Hunter Myers.
