Assiniboia Downs Reschedules Opening Day To May 24 Sponsored by:
Assiniboia Downs in Winnipeg, Canada
Assiniboia Downs has decided to reschedule the opening day to one week later Monday, May 24, 2021.
The interprovincial travel restrictions and quarantine requirements have resulted in some unexpected travel delays for horsemen that had planned to be ready to race next week.
“There is so much that goes into the opening of the meet so it is disappointing for sure”, said Darren Dunn, the track s CEO. “However, we felt it was the responsible approach to give it another week to get everyone here safely, following all necessary protocols. Then we can start the season strong with the first racing program on the Victoria Day Monday.”
Like so many businesses in the province, Assiniboia Downs had to adjust to the climate of the pandemic in 2020, and for a second straight year, that will be the case.
