Opened in 1958, Assiniboia Downs stands as a testament to Manitoba and Canada’s rich racing culture. Originally inaugurated to replace the nearby Polo Park racetrack, it has evolved into a premier entertainment hub.
Assiniboia hosts Thoroughbred racing from May through September. The Manitoba Derby stands as the crown jewel of Assiniboia Downs’s Thoroughbred racing calendar.
The Manitoba Derby began in the early 1930s at the original Polo Park. This prestigious event for 3-year-olds continues to attract top horses, trainers, and jockeys. The Manitoba Derby also is now the first leg of the Western Canadian Triple Crown. The Gold Cup and Winnipeg Futurity also are key races at Assiniboia.
