Comment On Proposed ORC Rule Changes
The Ontario Racing Commission has today invited comments on the proposed 2010 Standardbred rules changes received and reviewed under the ORC's Rules Amendment
Process.
Proposals for changes to the Rules of Racing were received from the industry in mid September. Industry input on these proposals happens at two levels:
- First, the proposals were reviewed by the Standardbred Rules Amendment Working Group, which was set up by the Executive Director to provide input and advice on the changes
- Second, individuals and associations can now provide their comments on the proposals through this current phase
The board of the ORC will be reviewing these proposals along with any input received through this comment phase. Any proposals that are approved by the ORC board will be announced through the issuance of directives.
The ORC wishes to thank the members of the Standardbred Rules Working Group for their interest and contribution.

I am amazed that the new
I am amazed that the new whipping rule was not revisited. The Drivers in Ontario all look like they are hand cuffed and not trying to win races compared to the Meadowland Drivers. The Bet and purses have dropped dramatically .Instead of taking a look back and rescinding this huge mistake absolutely nothing was done. Great Job???
