Over 50 representatives of the horse racing community attended a special working session yesterday in Mississauga to share their opinions on the use of the whip in Ontario horse racing.
While there were varying opinions on the subject, the group agreed 'the status quo' was not an acceptable option, change was indeed required, and that the racing industry and the general public expect it.
The meeting, held at the invitation of the Executive Director of the Ontario Racing Commission (ORC), was an opportunity to make suggestions on the direction the industry should take, as well as suggest necessary changes to the rules and/or practices within the industry.
