Georgian dark through 20th

January 11, 2007 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Georgian Downs has announced it has canceled its two programs next week through the 20th as negotiations continue to settle a contract dispute with the Ontario Harness Horse Association (OHHA). Georgian Downs announced both the Tuesday, Jan. 16, and Saturday, Jan. 20, programs have been canceled, bringing the number of dates lost this year due to the impasse to six.

Members of the OHHA have been walking the picket line at the track while passing out fliers detailing information of the rift, while causing a slowdown among patrons still trying to get to the slot facility. Although the slot parlor remains open, simulcasting has also been canceled.

Georgian Downs' parent company Great Canadian Gaming has reportedly filed an injunction to stop the picketing, with a court hearing scheduled to be heard Friday.
