New wager, changes in qualifying this weekend at Mohawk

TORONTO, May 31, 2023 – Woodbine Entertainment today announced the addition of the Swinger/Omni to its wagering menus for Woodbine Racetrack and Woodbine Mohawk Park.

Known globally as the Swinger or Omni, the popular international wager requires horseplayers to select two of the top three finishers in a race. A horseplayer can win with their selected horses finishing first and second, first and third, or second and third.

The minimum for the Swinger/Omni is $1 and the takeout is 18 per cent.

The Swinger/Omni wager will be available on all races at both Woodbine Racetrack and Woodbine Mohawk Park beginning Thursday (June 1).

Woodbine Mohawk Park’s Race Office would like to inform all horsepeople of the schedule scenarios for this weekend’s qualifiers.

With two-year-old qualifiers beginning this weekend, Woodbine Mohawk Park will monitor the number of entries to determine if two days of qualifiers are needed. The potential schedules are listed below:

1. Should the number of entries require only one day, all qualifiers will be held on Friday.
2. Should the number of entries require two days, regular qualifiers will be held on Friday and two-year-old qualifiers will be held on Saturday.

Each qualifying session begins at 10 a.m.

The entry box for this weekend’s qualifiers closes Thursday morning at 10:30 a.m. Horsepeople are reminded that entries for qualifiers are to be submitted through Standardbred Canada’s online entry system.
