The application process will be open starting January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024.

Leg Up Fund

Canterbury Park established the Leg Up Fund to assist injured and disabled Canterbury Park jockeys. Each year, our staff, horsemen and fans come together to raise money for this important cause. Watch for an upcoming Leg Up Fund event on our racing promotions page.
