Nightcap vibes. Thank you everyone for your patience while we worked through some storm-related issues. We'll see you again next week, with some hopefully nicer weather. https://t.co/rpRqmViuQF

We are having some power issues at the moment. We'll be back soon, hopefully. https://t.co/i4B0RTeP8F

Horses have returned to the paddock, we are waiting to see if the storm blows over and will resume racing if and when it's safe to do so. Thank you. https://t.co/LX6PKDVoFg

the rain is coming down awfully hard now, so please note we are now off the turf. https://t.co/if9a6Yhdo2

Wishing a very happy retirement to Hiatus, a local fan favourite and true Fort Erie Race Track icon. A prolific career with 13 wins, including the 2025 Puss N Boots Cup, and $184,000 in lifetime earnings. Bravo to Jeff, Robyn, Herb, and Greg. And while we'd love to tell all the fans to go and purchase one of our cool Hiatus t-shirts, that design has been our top seller and we're completely sold out.

Unbeatable! With another pair of wins today, Sofia Vives improves to a perfect 7-for-7 at Fort Erie Race Track this season. https://t.co/lK6DOKYVWn

👑🟣 Prince of Wales Stakes Update 🟣👑 Enhancements to various breeder incentives and bonuses for Ontario horses will boost purse levels at Fort Erie Race Track for its signature event, the Prince of Wales Stakes card, by $200,000 this season. As part of the recently announced $35 million investment from the Ontario government, $5 million is being directed into Ontario Racing’s Thoroughbred Improvement Program. With a newly included $100,000 Ontario Bred bonus, the 2026 Prince of Wales Stakes purse will increase to $500,000 while the two Ontario Sired Heritage Series races that day – the Rondeau Bay Stakes and Lake Erie Stakes – will both increase to $150,000 each. Combined with the remaining four stakes that day – the Molson Cup, the Puss N Boots Cup, the Richard Grubb Cup and the Cinquemie Essai Cup – the total prize money for the Prince of Wales card will reach a new high of nearly $1 million. The Prince of Wales Stakes is the second jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown, and is contested at Fort Erie Race Track following the King’s Plate at Woodbine. The 91st Prince of Wales Stakes will hit the historic border oval on Labour Day, Monday, September 7.
