According to an article this week by The Globe and Mail, on Monday, February 23 the town of Fort Erie withdrew its offer to purchase the 111-year-old Fort Erie racetrack
for thoroughbreds, leaving the future rather grim for the border oval.
The report states that according to a track spokesman an offer of purchase that was issued by the Fort Erie Economic Development and Tourism Corporation was filled with conditions which were both unacceptable and impossible to achieve.
"It's not over,'' track spokesman Daryl Wells, Jr. was quoted as saying. "We'll continue to entertain any options possible to keep racing alive at Fort Erie.''
