Assiniboia Downs is a Canadian horse race track on 150 ha (360 acres)[1] of land located in the Winnipeg suburb of St. James-Assiniboia. It is operated by the Manitoba Jockey Club and is the site of the annual Manitoba Derby.
The track is located on the western edge of the city, near the intersection of the Perimeter Highway and Portage Avenue. It was opened on June 10, 1958,[2] replacing the former Polo Park Racetrack, which was demolished to make way for Polo Park Shopping Centre.
