Thursday, July 31 is the new date for postponed OSS Gold Leg 2 event for 2-year-old trotting colts

2025-07-25T10:56:44-04:00July 25, 2025|

The $140,000 Ontario Sires Stakes (OSS) Leg 2 Gold Series event for 2-year-old trotting colts postponed on Thursday (July 24) due to severe weather at Woodbine Mohawk Park, will now be raced, as originally drawn, on Thursday, July 31 as part of the track’s regular card of pari-mutuel wagering.

Severe storms struck Woodbine Mohawk Park during the July 24 card just before the race 7 OSS Gold field was due to leave the paddock. After a long delay, the decision was made to cancel the final four races on the card due to unsafe racing conditions caused by lightning.

Mail nominations early to avoid postal interruption!

2025-05-06T16:35:57-04:00May 6, 2025|

The Ontario Sires Stakes office would like to encourage owners and breeders to submit their yearling nomination payment well before the May 15, 2025 deadline.

With current collective agreements between Canada Post and CUPW expiring on May 22, 2025, the potential for a strike exists. Mailing your yearling nomination payment in advance of the deadline will ensure it reaches the OSS office before any disruption to the postal service occurs.

The yearling nomination payment of $100 ($75 USD) nominates foals of 2024 to race as two-year-olds in 2026 and three-year-olds in 2027 (OSS54).

Payment can be made through the Yearling Nomination online payment form on the Registration tab of the OSS website before midnight on May 15, 2025, or by mail, postmarked no later than May 15, 2025. Payments by cheque should be made payable to ‘Ontario Sires Stakes’ and mailed to:

Ontario Sires Stakes
P.O. Box 160
Campbellville, ON L0P 1B0

Nominations made after May 15, 2025, are subject to a late fee. The Late Yearling Nomination fee is $500 prior to Aug. 15, 2025, and increases to $1,500 from Aug. 16, 2025, to March 16, 2026.

All yearlings must be registered at time of nomination and Standardbred Canada requires that DNA and microchipping be complete before the registration is finalised.

If you have questions about nominating a horse to the OSS, please contact the Program Coordinator at (416) 407-4841 or ossprogram@ontarioracing.com.

Two-Year-Old OSS Sustaining Payment Due March 17

If your two-year-old was not nominated to the OSS as a yearling in 2024, it can still be nominated by submitting the $1,500 ($1,125 USD) late fee and form prior to March 17, 2025.

Once nominated, the two-year-old can then be sustained for the 2025 two-year-old season by submitting the $600 sustaining payment, also by March 17, 2025.

Ontario Resident Mare Forms Mailed

2024-10-09T09:40:52-04:00October 9, 2024|

Ontario Racing would like to inform broodmare owners that mare enrolment forms and renewal forms for the Ontario Resident Mare Program have been mailed for the 2025 foaling year.

Please note that some changes have been made to the program and the enrolment form. Please read the Notice enclosed with the forms carefully.

To qualify as an Ontario Resident Mare, and have the foal registered as “Ontario Bred,” the mare must be enrolled in the program for each foaling year and meet the program’s eligibility requirements. These requirements include being resident in the Province of Ontario at the time of enrolment and remaining resident in the province for 180 days surrounding the date of foaling.

The annual enrolment fee is $100 per mare before foaling or $300 after foaling but before Sept. 1 of the foaling year. If enrolling after foaling, proof of residency must be submitted at time of enrolment.

If you have a mare in foal for 2025 and do not receive a form in the mail soon, one can be downloaded from the Ontario Racing website, on the Ontario Resident Mare Program page, or requested by emailing ontariomare@ontarioracing.com or calling Kathie Wilkinson at 416-576-6298.

Only foals out of mare enrolled in the program are entitled to earn Ontario Bred Rewards which are payable to the breeder who made the decision to participate by enrolling the mare in the Ontario Resident Mare Program. The program is currently paying approximately $2.6 million in Ontario Bred Rewards to breeders of qualified horses earning purses on Ontario Sires Stakes and selected Open races
