Canterbury Park Racetrack


Canterbury Park was originally known as Canterbury Downs when it originally opened in 1985. Since then financial problems led it to being bought by a succession of owners and January 1995 it was officially renamed "Canterbury Park."

The usual season includes 69 race days, from early May to Labor Day. Races usually run Thursday through Sunday. A card club is also included in the facility and is available 24 hours a day along with with simulcast racing year round.

Right from the harsh afternoon light to the evening artificial light, you did a great job on these. Exposures are great, there is nice variety and it really expresses well the feel of the day.
