ASSINIBOIA DOWNS RACECOURSE |
|
| Originally Western Canada had a racecourse at
Polo Park but this was developed for housing and replaced by the newly built Assiniboia
Downs racecourse at Winnipeg in the state of Manitoba in 1958. |
| |
Remarkably the course was built in just 9 months and opened
in June 1958. |
|
| The course took over the running of the
Manitoba Derby which was first held in the late 1920's. |
