Canterbury Park opens the 2021 season with gratitude at the gates After a year unlike any other, normal feels like a blessing at the Shakopee track. May 17, 2021 9:03pm Text size Copy shortlink:
With more than 40 racehorses in his barn, Tony Rengstorf has plenty of chores to handle every day at Canterbury Park. He s not going to miss the one he just crossed off the list. We don t have to disinfect the pitchforks any more, the trainer said. It s good to be getting back to normal.
That s the unofficial motto for Canterbury Park s 27th season, which begins Tuesday with nine thoroughbred races. Following the most unusual year in its history, the Shakopee track is getting back to its pre-COVID self: a 65-day season, starting in mid-May, with large crowds welcome. And a lot less Lysol and Pine-Sol in barns like Rengstorf s, which went through gallons of the stuff last year to satisfy COVID sanitation protocols.
