The Raceway at the Western Fair District

10/19/2026

All of us at The Raceway were shocked and saddened by the news of the passing of Scott Knight. He was a beloved father, husband and highly regarded horseman who will be greatly missed.

On behalf of our entire harness racing family, we send our deepest condolences to Scott’s family and friends during this difficult time. ♥️

🩷 The Raceway at Western Fair District

10/09/2026

We’re proud to welcome the London Classic Yearling Sale to the J-AAR Expo Centre!

The Standardbred community has long been part of the Western Fair District story, and we’re excited to see that connection continue here.
From the people who raise them to the people who work alongside them, every yearling comes with a story- one built on passion, expertise and a deep connection to the industry.

We’re proud to host a space where the agriculture and equine communities come together, and to be part of another chapter in Ontario’s Standardbred industry. ❤️
