Average Wagering per Race Up as Hastings Closes for Season

[Wandering Eyes]

The 2024 racing season at Hastings Racecourse wrapped up Oct. 13 with average wagering per race increasing 7.8%. Total wagering for the season of $21,531,203 showed a 4% decline from last year, primarily due to one fewer racing day and 36 fewer races in 2024.

“We were quite pleased with some of the increases and progress we saw this year,” said Dawn Lupul, Manager of Racing and Communications at BC Racebook. “We made some changes to the schedule with the addition of Friday nights and were on FanDuel TV on a regular basis this year, providing additional access to the core horse racing and sporting fans. We are so thankful to the fans for another great season.”

Amadeo Perez secured the leading jockey title with 62 wins, while Steve Henson won the leading trainer title with 51 wins. Hastings will kick off the 2025 season in the spring.
