A contract dispute over the 2014 thoroughbred schedule at Colonial Downs has caused the closure of four off-track wagering locations.

A report by martinsvilledaily.com states that the Virginia Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association has refused to sign a new contract which is the exact same contract as last year.

Until an agreement is reached between the two parties, Virginia OTW locations in Martinsville, Vinton, Scott County and Alberta will remain closed.
