Canadian Purse Cheque News

Seeing as though there is uncertainty in regard to the services of Canada Post at this time, multiple entities within the horse racing industry have issued releases explaining their contingency plans if a work stoppage does in fact occur.

Trot Insider has accumulated all of the racing PR that has been sent out on the topic, including Standardbred Canada’s. The Ontario Sires Stakes, Woodbine Entertainment Group and Kawartha Downs recently issued announcements regarding purse cheques. Hippodrome 3R's plans are the most recent to be announced. The links to those stories appear at the bottom of the list, where all of the most recent updates will appear.
