Windsor delays opening

 Return Home
December 27, 2004 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Unlike many a year in the past, Windsor Raceway will not be open for live racing on Jan. 1. The track has announced that it will delay its 2005 opening of live racing and simulcasting until the Ontario Racing Commission approves its '05 Race Date Application.



The Ontario Racing Commission rejected Windsor's Sept. 29, 2004, application for 121 days of live racing. The Ontario Harness Horse Association opposed the application and called for Windsor to run 153 live race dates, as was the case in 2003.



The Ontario Racing Commission told Windsor Raceway officials that they must submit a new dates request application, and the new application is now under consideration. However, the revised application requests 112 live days of racing, the same number the commission approved for Western Fair in London, Ont.



Windsor Raceway executive John Millson said, "Windsor Raceway continues to be committed to live racing; however, its application will be based on sound business practices. We will not be forced back into similar circumstances which nearly destroyed the company in 2003."
