Toronto, ON — Woodbine Entertainment Group today announced that the Ontario Racing Commission has approved its application to amend its purse distribution for the remainder of the 2011-2012 Standardbred Woodbine meet.

Beginning Dec. 1 and ending May 14, the program will issue a purse payment in the amount of C$350 to owners of horses that do not finish first through fifth.

The C$350 payment will be considered purse earnings and will be reflected on the horses’ official records.
