The Blue Bonnets Raceway (later named Hippodrome de Montréal) was a horse racing track and casino in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
In 1905, John F. Ryan founded the Jockey Club of Montreal, which on June 4, 1907, opened the Blue Bonnets Raceway on Decarie Boulevard.
In 1958, Jean-Louis Levesque undertook major renovations that included building a multi-million-dollar clubhouse for the Blue Bonnets Raceway, and by 1961 it began to challenge the preeminence of the Ontario racing industry.
Owned and operated by the provincial government agency Société nationale du cheval de course (SONACC), it offered harness racing, inter-track wagering from the United States, off-track betting, two restaurants, and hundreds of video lottery terminals and slot machines.
