The Board of Directors of the Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association of Ontario (HBPA) is pleased to advise there will be live thoroughbred racing at Fort Erie Race Track in 2014.

Meetings to organize, schedule and promote the race meet at the historic border oval are taking place. Horsepeople can assist by spreading this positive news and by encouraging fellow horsepeople to support horse racing at Fort Erie Race Track. It will be essential that we as an industry continue to showcase our commitment to live racing at Fort Erie, to improving the game and growing our fan base.

On behalf of thoroughbred horsepeople in Ontario, the HBPA extends its sincere appreciation to Premier Kathleen Wynne, John Snobelen, and the many others for their commitment to working with the horse racing industry to bring this agreement to fruition.

Additional details on the 2014 race season at Fort Erie will be released when available.
