Woodbine Racetrack Floods

The freak rain storm that hit the Greater Toronto Area Monday left parts of Woodbine Racetrack underwater.

Woodbine, which released a statement on Tuesday, said that heavy rain submerged roads and infrastructure. While the main track is in good condition, training access was canceled as tunnels to the track were underwater and without power.

“Our horsemen and staff once again have risen to the challenge. Their perseverance and extraordinary sense of community are making quick work of a substantial cleanup effort,” the Woodbine statement read.

Racing is expected to be back to normal by Wednesday.

That was the main topic of the SaskAgToday.com Roundtable, though it's not the only one as the final crop report of 2025, SARM's recent trip to Ottawa, and the upcoming Grain Millers Harvest Showdown in Yorkton were other notable topics.
