Clinton Raceway Be Here - Beyond the Race
Welcome to Huron County's only harness race track. Situated in the Clinton Community Park we race Sunday afternoons at 1:30pm.

An all ages, family friendly facility with concession and licensed area. Closed for the 2026 season. Extended meet started by the Clinton Kinsmen in 1970 with the introduction of Pari-Mutuel Wagering. In 1983, after much dedication, and hard work the Clinton Kinsmen the decision was made to turn the reins over to a board of directors, and in March of 1983 Clinton Raceway Inc was formed, a non profit organization. Since then, live racing has continued to thrive in the small community, with an average of 15 live dates a year, Clinton is the heart of harness racing from May - September with a live race post time of 1:30pm

Clinton Raceway is committed to helping local group, clubs and associations by holding fundraising events at the track. We welcome all non profit organizations to get in touch with us to discuss how we can help. Being a non profit organization, Clinton Raceway injects all of it's profits back into the industry, through fundraising, wages, promotions, purses and infrastructure etc.

CLINTON, ON — September 6, 2026 — Clinton Raceway wrapped up its 2026 season in thrilling fashion Sunday, with a back-to-back championship, a milestone career victory, a track record and a strong show of community support all highlighting the 13-race season finale.

For the second consecutive year, Travis Henry emerged victorious in the Gateway Casinos Charity Drivers Challenge, finishing the eight-race competition with 61 points. Henry edged out Jody Jamieson, who finished second with 55 points, while Paul MacKenzie secured third with 51 points.

The championship came down to the wire, providing plenty of excitement for fans throughout the afternoon and making for a fitting finale to another successful season at Clinton Raceway.

The Charity Drivers Challenge once again put the focus on giving back to the community, with participating drivers donating their driving fees from the day to support the Royal Canadian Legion branches in Exeter, Seaforth, Clinton and Hensall. Thanks to sponsorship support and a variety of on-track fundraising initiatives throughout the season, more than $8,000 was raised for the local Legion branches.

“It was an incredible way to close out the season,” said Clinton Raceway Marketing Manager, Jessica Carnochan. “The competition was exciting right down to the final race, but even more importantly, our drivers, sponsors, fans and community partners came together to make a meaningful difference in our community.”

Adding to the excitement of the afternoon, Nick Boyd, a competitor in the Charity Drivers Challenge, recorded a major career milestone in Race 5, guiding Ring The Alarm to the winners circle in his 500th career driving victory.

Following the eight-race Charity Drivers Challenge, the afternoon continued with two divisions of Ontario Sired Two-Year-Old C**t Pacers.

Both divisions went to trainees of Greg McNair, with Doug McNair piloting both winners. In Race 9, Will Farroh delivered a record-setting performance, stopping the clock in 1:56.1 to establish a new Clinton Raceway track record.

Race 10 saw C Script capture the second division, giving the McNair stable a sweep of the two Ontario Sired divisions.

The season finale also provided an opportunity to recognize Clinton Raceway’s leading connections for 2026.

Pat Bissett captured the Top Trainer Award with six wins on the season, while Lorne House earned the Top Driver Award, finishing the year with an impressive 25 victories.

$101,675 was wagered on the 13 race afternoon matinee.

Clinton Raceway extends its sincere thanks to all of its fans, horsepeople, drivers, trainers, sponsors, volunteers and community partners for making the 2026 season another memorable one.

Well. That was one wild wiener day!

It was rainy, muddy and just overall not the best day - however, these short legged, heart warming puppers gave it their all in our annual wiener dog races!

We hit the track earlier than anticipated - ran two quick heats and right into the final. To say it was chaotic was an understatement at best.

Thank you to ALL the dedicated owners for braving the elements, the fans for showing up, and to our event sponsor Sandy Paws for the treats!

CONGRATS to our 2026 Wiener Champion Buddy! Winning on his Birthday too!

2nd place to one of our favourites Kevin!

And after extensive video review - 3rd place goes to Stanley!

We really hope for better weather next year….
