Woodbine Secondary Plan

March 5, 2026:  Woodbine Racetrack is currently undergoing a Secondary Plan Study that will help shape the future development of the area surrounding the racetrack. These planning decisions could have long-term implications for our racing community including backstretch operations, stabling, training access, and the overall footprint of the Thoroughbred industry in Ontario.

Importantly, the plan may impact the Sales Pavilion, sales barns, and the future of our yearling sales. These facilities are critical to the success of our annual sale and to the broader commercial breeding sector. Any changes to land use, infrastructure, or access could directly affect how and where we conduct our sales in the years ahead.

We strongly encourage all members to stay informed and attend the upcoming public meetings if possible. Participation from horsepeople is essential to ensure our industry’s needs and economic impact are clearly understood and considered as plans move forward. Your presence and perspective matter.
