Tom Bain of the Lakeshore Horse Raceway Association has gone on the record as saying that he is “relieved” that race contracts for the region will be honoured, and that his Lakeshore group will use the next three years to prove that its racing operations are sustainable and should be allowed to operate live racing after the period has elapsed.
As an article by Blackburn News explains, Bain has said that his group is “relieved” that they will be able to race beyond this year. The Lakeshore group currently operates live racing at Leamington Raceway.
According to the article, Bain has been ‘given assurances’ that current race contracts for the area will be honoured, even though the industry could face a potential shake-up in the area.
Bain told Blackburn News that industry stakeholders in the area will have a say in the future of the area.
The article has quoted Bain as saying, “To know that we’ve got three years, we can use those three years to show that we’ll be sustainable and we should be left open after that.”
He went on to say that “it certainly is a relief when you think you’re going to be on your final year of racing.”
