Ken Middleton, the long-time voice of Woodbine Standardbred racing, has been hospitalized following a serious training accident.

Middleton, who trains his own stable in addition to the announcing role, was injured on Thursday morning, suffering cracks and breaks to multiple vertebrae. Middleton is currently at Hamilton General Hospital and is set to undergo surgery for the injuries this weekend.

Woodbine Entertainment and its racing community extends best wishes to Middleton for a full and safe recovery.

Mark has become a jack of all trades
He sounded pretty dam good....for a person who has not had a ltt of experience calling 10 horse fields in competetive races

7 or 8 horses on a half mile track is much easier...but builds experience

Nice job Mark !

Could we please get an update from some WEGS knowledgable folks on mr middleton condition when available? Ken is a quality announcer and from all accounts seems a equally fine person. Thank you

  • Calhoun: I banded PenisHead. As soon as I freed him, he mustered up as I commanded. Then he lies and says he hasn't tried to log on for days. Also now the PD is peeking in. No complaint, they just want to laugh at the Chump of Goshen.
