Ontario horsemen picket

Return Home
May 22, 2007 | Print View

Members of the Ontario Harness Horse Association (OHHA) picketed Dresden Raceway Monday as a contract dispute at that track and Woodstock kept both sites from opening its 2007 racing seasons over the past weekend.

 

The OHHA members reportedly carried signs stating “No racing, no slots.” The dispute centers on the OHHA’s demands that more race dates are added at both Dresden and Woodstock. The OHHA has reportedly asked Dresden to race 30 dates, an increase from 21 last year, and 35 at Woodstock, up from 24 last year.

A letter has reportedly been sent by Ontario Racing Commission executive director Johh Blakney to Winrac Development Inc., the parent company of both racetracks, that states he is considering suspending or revoking both track licenses for failing to comply with the terms and conditions of the licenses.
