Editing Mohawk Racetrack (section)

==History==
The track was opened on April 26, 1963, by the then Ontario Jockey Club as Mohawk Racetrack,<ref name="horseracing">{{cite web|url=http://www.horseracing.info/mohawk-horse-racing.html|title=Mohawk Horse Racing Information|publisher=horseracing.info|accessdate=9 July 2014}}</ref> and 4,338 people attended. The 400-acre site was constructed at a cost of $3.5 million; it could house 828 horses in the barns and had enough parking for 3,000 cars. The very first Canadian Standardbred Horse Society Yearling Sale took place at the Woodbine Sales Arena, with 30 yearlings cataloged.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://woodbine.com/our-history/|title=Our History|website=Woodbine Mohawk Park|language=en-CA|access-date=2019-11-26}}</ref>

The Ontario Jockey Club changed its name to Woodbine Entertainment Group in 2001; in June 2017, Woodbine Entertainment Group announced an investment that would result in Mohawk being upgraded to accommodate year-round harness racing. Following the closure of [[Woodbine Racetrack]]'s harness track in early 2018 for conversion to a turf course for [[thoroughbred racing]], Mohawk opened under the new brand name of Woodbine Mohawk Park.<ref name=drf120418/><ref>{{cite press release |date= |title=Woodbine Entertainment Announces $10 million Investment in Mohawk Racetrack|url=https://woodbine.com/mohawk/mohawk-news/woodbine-entertainment-announces-10-million-investment-in-mohawk-racetrack/|location=Campbelville, ON|publisher=[[Woodbine Entertainment Group]]|access-date=6 December 2021}}</ref>
