Founded in 1897, Fort Erie is the only horse racing venue in the Niagara Region. The racetrack is often referred to as \u201c<em>the border oval<\/em>\u201d because of the track\u2019s proximity (barely a mile as the crow flies) to the U.S. border. The racecourse is regarded for being very scenic and picturesque.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before COVID 19 restrictions on the public attending crowd events, parking and admission were free into the racecourse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fort-erie-horse-racing-betting.png\" alt=\"Fort Erie Racetrack\"><figcaption>Fort Erie Racetrack<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h2 id=\"History-of-Fort-Erie\"><strong>History of Fort Erie<\/strong><br \/><\/h2>\n<p>Wednesday, June 16th 1897 witnessed the inaugural races go to post at Fort Erie. The racetrack was at one time owned by the Cella family, who also owned Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. They sold it in 1952 to renowned Canadian horseman E. P. Taylor who was acting on behalf of the Ontario Jockey Club. Interesting to note, before this change in ownership, Fort Erie was restricted to fourteen days of racing a year which he expanded to 42 days of horse racing over the summer. Taylor also closed many of the smaller tracks around the area of Ontario and to focus on developing racing in Toronto and Fort Erie.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are two tracks at the racecourse. The main track consists of sandy loam soil over a distance of one mile. The second track is the turf track which is Seven furlongs and located inside the main course. There are some fantastic races run at the Fort Erie track. The most important race run at the Canadian track is the <strong>Prince Of Wales Stakes<\/strong> which is part of the <strong><a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.racebets.com\/canada-horse-racing-betting\">Canadian Triple Crown<\/a><\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"vc_btn vc_btn-green vc_btn-sm vc_btn_square\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.racebets.com\/en\/horse-racing\/?utm_source=ExactTarget&amp;utm_medium=blogDE&amp;utm_campaign=fort-erie-horse-racing-betting-RBmain1\">Bet at RaceBets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another interesting race is the <strong>Puss N Boots Cup<\/strong> which is run annually at the start of the fall meeting. It is named after the horse Puss N Boots, who was leading in the Vandal Stakes (then run at Fort Erie) when he decided to jump the inner hedge near the finish line. The horse landed in one of the infield ponds, dumping his jockey in the process. In recognition, the winning jockey of the Cup jumps into the pond in celebration. Several other stakes races were once run at Fort Erie but have since been transferred to Woodbine. This includes the Bison City Stakes, the second leg of the Canadian Triple Tiara for fillies.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Facilities<\/strong><br \/><\/h3>\n<p>The facilities at Fort Erie are second to none. There is a great selection of dining facilities to choose from including the Racebook, Tiki Bar and Tufside Dining Room restaurants. A farmers market is also regularly held at the racecourse pre-COVID 19.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h2 id=\"Top-horses-to-follow-2020\"><strong>Top horses to follow 2020<\/strong><br \/><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/fort-erie-horse-racing-betting-1.png\" alt=\"Might Heart\"><figcaption><strong>Might Heart<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Mighty Heart<\/strong> is the 2020 Prince Of Wales Stakes winner. 2020 marked the 85th running of the race, in which Daisuke Fukumoto guided home the incredible one-eyed horse who is trained by Josie Carroll.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other interesting horses on the Canadian circuit to keep an eye on include the Kevin Attard trained <strong>Clayton<\/strong> who finished third in this season\u2019s Queen\u2019s Plate. <strong>Dotted Line<\/strong> trained by Sid Attard and Mark Casse\u2019s <strong>Muskoka Giant<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h2 id=\"Top-jockeys-to-follow-2020\"><strong>Top jockeys to follow 2020&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Irad Ortiz<\/strong>, Jr who was born August 1992 is the leading rider on the New York racing circuit since 2012.
