from the Ontario Racing Commission
Toronto, ON — The Ontario Racing Commission issued the following Notice to the Industry today with respect to changes put in place to meet Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency requirements for issuing betting permits.
In order to ensure wagering on horse racing in Ontario continues beyond March 31, 2012, the Board of the Ontario Racing Commission has authorized the use of access agreements between individual ORC licensed horsepeople and licensed racetracks for the purpose of compliance with Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency betting supervision regulations.
With this move, racetracks can be in compliance either by entering into an agreement with a licensed horsepeople’s organization or through individual agreements with licensed racing participants.
