Woodbine’s track maintenance crew will be working hard to removed snow and ice from the main Tapeta track Monday after more snow fell overnight following a very icy day Sunday. Racing was cancelled Sunday and all 11 races from that card are offered as carryovers from Friday, which will be drawn Tuesday. The main track and sand ring were closed for training Monday morning.
As December rolls in like as a feisty snowman there is stakes action to look forward to for the next day of racing, Wednesday night. The 45th KINGARVIE STAKES for Ontario sired 2-year-olds will go at 1 1/16 miles as race 6 on the 8-race card.
The Kingarvie is named for the Horse of the Year of 1946 who won the Queen’s Plate in a 10-race winning streak. He was owned and bred by Col. R.S. McLaughlin.
