Town Cruise wins the Woodbine Mile Stakes at Woodbine
Woodbine announced handle of CA$13,856,030 on its Sept. 18 program, which established a new record for a Woodbine Mile card and was a 17.3% increase over 2020.
Horseplayers wagered CA$2.2 million on the Ricoh Woodbine Mile (G1T) and CA$1.7 million on the Pattison Canadian International Stakes (G1T). A quartet of multi-leg wager guarantees and a Jackpot Hi-5 mandatory payout, which generated CA$957,408 in new money, were also highlights of the 12-race card.
The Sept. 19 card from Woodbine generated CA$7.2 million handle on an 11-race program. The afternoon included a pair of grade 1 Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" Challenge Series races to cap off Woodbine's Turf Festival Weekend.
Woodbine also tweeted Sept. 20 that it had "recently experienced a technical issue with the graphics on our Thoroughbred simulcast feed."
"The result of this issue was odds info not updating properly," the track continued. "We're working with our partners to rectify this issue to ensure correct information is displayed at all times."
In a follow-up tweet, the track added that correct odds information was displayed via advance deposit wagering outlets and self-serve terminals.
