WINNIPEG — From the first day of racing back in May, it seemed as if there would never be any doubt.

Local horse racing fans will get one extra day of live action at the track. Assiniboia Downs has extended the racing season until Wednesday, September 28.

It was expected to be the best September of racing at Assiniboia Downs in perhaps the long, heralded history of the best little racetrack in Western Canada.

In past years, September was mop-up time at Assiniboia Downs. For most racing seasons, September offered up six race dates over two weeks and a couple of big stakes races, but for most people, school, football and the Jets were starting and a season of horse racing was just about a memory.

WINNIPEG — With 13 race nights remaining at the 2022 Assiniboia Downs thoroughbred meet, there will soon be a coronation.
