Racing Experience

Race Archiving has arrived; click on "Watch Live Racing"

Rideau Carleton Raceway hosts year-round live standardbred harness horse racing. We also offer Teletheatre wagering on simulcast racing, harness and thoroughbred, from across Canada and around the world.

We present Live racing every Thursday, Friday & Sunday; post time each evening is 6:30pm.

Labour Day weekend is a perfect chance to host a special afternoon card of racing at 1pm along with the Brunch Buffet. Bring the family and squeeze the last bit of fun out of Summer!

Sunday September 26, the NCRHHA presents Guy Gagnon Night at the Races; see poster below for details.

NEW! Thursdays!!!! The Montreal Rideau Express runs every Sunday from Montreal to Rideau Carleton Raceway getting you here in time to enjoy the live racing and taking you back at the end of the night. And as of August 26th, Thursdays will be added to the schedule! The bus ticket includes many extras; see posters below.

Rideau Carleton Raceway is proud to host two significant stake races each year; both of these stake races attract a significantly higher caliber of horses.

The 29th Des Smith Classic Pace, was run on Sunday June 27th, for a $170,000 purse. Jody Jamieson drove Anderlecht straight to the winner's circle to meet up with his owners from Black Road Stable, Kitchener-Point Zero Seven Racing, Burlington, ON and trainer I. Vrablic. From post position #6, this 5 year old horse was able to tie the track record with an amazing time of 1:49.3.

The Tara Hills STUD 46th Frank Ryan Memorial Trot, named for one of the founding members and driving forces behind the construction of Rideau Carleton Raceway, was called to the post on Sunday August 29th for an purse of $161,250.00. From post position 2, Slave Dream, in the capable hands of Sylvain Filion, crossed the finish line first in 1:53.3. Trained by Frank Oreilly, Slave Dream is owned by Franco Cianci of Montreal QC.
The Happy Family

Ontario Sires Stakes are as important to Rideau Carleton Raceway as they are to the the harness racing industry a a whole. With this in mind we take pleaure in hosting OSS races through the season. See calendar below.
