Historical race events The Canadian Pacing Derby was first run on August 12, 1936, at Fountain Park Racetrack in New Hamburg, Ontario, operated by the New Hamburg Turf Club. For 1949 only, the race was renamed the Canadian Pacing And Trotting Derby with trotting horses allowed to compete against pacers. The lone trotter entered finished far back. The Derby was suspended after the 1957 running and was not revived until 1965 when it was raced as a 1-3/16 mile event at Greenwood Raceway in Toronto. The following year the race returned to the standard distance of a mile.Standardbred Canada August 29, 2015 article titled "SC Rewind: Derby Heritage" Retrieved October 18, 2016
