Mohawk Opens Again Monday At Campbellville Track
Mohawk Raceway at Campbellville plans a nine race card for the reopening next Monday. J. J Mooney of Jockey Club Limited says the meeting should be strong after three months to finish the plant improvements. The five eighths mile track north of Highway 401 opened April 20 but was hampered by bad weather and a virus reducing entries. Highways officials added lanes and repaired overpasses to ease spring crowds. Mohawk’s stables have housed horses all summer.
