Woodbine Mohawk Park: Mohawk Million confirmed for September 25

Woodbine Entertainment today (6/4) confirmed the 2021 Mohawk Million will take place on Saturday, September 25 at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The deadline to submit the second payment of $50,000 was June 1, 2021 and Woodbine Entertainment received the necessary payment from all slot owners to confirm the second edition of the Mohawk Million.

The slot owners for this year's Mohawk Million are listed below:

Determination (two slots)

EquineX (two slots)

Gino Toscani (two slots)

The tenth and final slot in this year's Mohawk Million will be awarded to the winner of the William Wellwood Memorial on Saturday, September 11.

Slot owners for the Mohawk Million are not required to declare a two-year-old trotter for their slot until the week of the race.

With Baby Races set to begin across North America, the build-up and discussion towards this year's Mohawk Million begins. Woodbine will start to track this year's crop of two-year-old trotters and provide profiles on each of this year's slot owners through its website (www.WoodbineMohawkPark.com) and social media channels (@WoodbineSB).
