MILTON, July 16, 2026 – Woodbine Entertainment has announced tonight’s card of live Standardbred racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park is cancelled due to poor air quality. Environment Canada’s air quality index for Milton is listed as ‘High Risk’ and is expected to remain at this level throughout Thursday. Woodbine’s decision to cancel comes through consultation with COSA and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and is consistent with the AGCO’s air quality guidelines. This cancellation has been made in the best interests of the health and safety of the horses and racing participants. The Tompkins-Geers Stakes for two-year-old trotting fillies, scheduled for Thursday, will now be cancelled. Nomination and sustaining payments will be split among the entrants.
