On Wednesday, December 11 in the backstretch of Woodbine Racetrack, Woodbine Entertainment conducted the most recent edition of the ‘Stronger Together: United Ontario Horse Racing for a Sustainable Future’ series. A replay of the event, which appears below, is now available for viewing.
The December 11 installment of the series discussed Woodbine’s 2019 live Thoroughbred season and what the future holds for the track.
The session featured three well known Woodbine personalities: commentator Jason Portuondo, CEO Jim Lawson, and Jonathan Zammit, VP of Woodbine’s Thoroughbred racing operations.
The trio discussed all things Woodbine Thoroughbred for roughly an hour, and touched on a myriad of topics and issues that the track and its horsepeople are currently facing.
The topics, which proved to be many, included Woodbine’s 2019 wagering and racing statistics, the urging pilot project, race-day medications, disqualification rules, the future of the backstretch, horse population issues, and transparency, to list a few.
