Fort Erie Race Track has been approved for 40 race days in 2021, the same as last year.
As was also the case in 2020, the thoroughbred track’s signature event — the Prince of Wales Stakes — will be delayed by about two months.
“As of right now, we have not set a date for the Prince of Wales Stakes, as we feel there are too many unknowns with COVID-19,” said Antonietta Culic, the track’s manager of marketing and media relations. “We do suspect that will be in September.”
Normally, the second jewel in Canadian horse racing’s Triple Crown takes place three weeks after the Queen’s Plate at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. That race is scheduled to take place Sunday, Sept. 22.
*editor’s note – The Queen’s Plate is set for Sunday Aug. 22.
