by Doug Thomas, for the Ohio Standardbred Development Fund

The Ohio Standardbred Development Fund (OSDF) has called a meeting for Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. in room 1918 of the Riffe Center at 77 S.High St in Columbus, Ohio.

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the effect the OSDF may incur due to the new agreement between Scioto Downs and Beulah Park which now has Scioto Downs only simulcasting during their live race meeting. Also to be discussed is the possibility of an economic income study being performed and whether the OSDF will be able to participate.

The general public and all horsemen are invited to attend.
