Fraser Downs Racetrack in Cloverdale Shuts Down

Fraser Downs racetrack in Cloverdale is closing after the City of Surrey reclaimed the lease from Great Canadian Entertainment. Racing operations, including the 5/8-mile oval, stables, and backstretch, have stopped immediately. The closure follows issues such as a rat infestation in the barns. While racing ends, Elements Casino, the racebook, and Yuk Yuk’s comedy club on the property will continue operating. Fraser Downs, a local harness racing landmark since 1976, now faces an uncertain future under city management.
