Clinton Raceway set for opening day

The thrill of live harness racing returns to Clinton Raceway on May 22nd. The racing season will get underway in May for the first time in 3 years, after COVID lockdowns caused delayed starts to the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Opening day will be highlighted by $2 Clinton Raceway t-shirts, bake sale and a 50/50 draw in support of the Central Huron Secondary School. The unofficial start of summer will showcase talented local horses and horse people as they compete during the exciting opening day race card.

“We are excited to kick off our season in May for the first time in 3 years”, said Clinton Raceway General Manager Ian Fleming. “It should be a fantastic season with the return of Legends Day and our annual major stake race, The Kin Pace”.

The 2022 racing season is highlighted by Legends Day, the 2022 $50,000 Kin Pace, Annual Driver’s Challenge, and multiple Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots events. There will be plenty of opportunities to win big with a $5,000 guaranteed Pick 5 and $2,000 guaranteed Pick 4, as well as a Super Hi-5 each race day.
