Fort Erie approved for 40 racing days in 2021

Fort Erie Race Track has been approved for 40 race days in 2021. Prince of Wales Stakes will be delayed by two months. The Queen’s Plate this year is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 22. Before the pandemic, the Queen's Plate was traditionally held in late June, Prince's Stake in July and Breeders' Staking in August. COVID-19 restrictions made both tracks off-limits to spectators in 2020. It's too early to say if the ban will carry over into 2021 season. Fort Erie enjoyed a record year in terms of betting.
