Horse racing in Quebec has longstanding roots, particularly in harness racing. Hippodrome 3R serves as the province’s primary venue for organized racing following the closure of Montreal’s former Blue Bonnets track. Standardbred racing dominates the provincial calendar, supported by breeding operations and regulated wagering systems. While the industry has faced structural adjustments over the past decade, it maintains organized competition and agricultural ties. Continued policy support and industry coordination influence its long-term stability.
