Baymount Incorporated and the National Capital Region Harness Horse Association are moving closer to signing a contract for the new Quinte Exhibition and Raceway scheduled to open in Belleville, Ontario in 2010.

Ray Veeneman, Baymount's vice president of Operations, and Russ Moulton, executive director of the NCRHHA, spoke with Trot Insider this afternoon regarding the progress.

"We've been in talks with the NCRHHA for several months. Drafts of the agreements have gone back and forth, and now we are in the final stages of drafting the agreement," said Veeneman.

"Things are progressing quite nicely," said Moulton. "We are happy with the way things are proceeding."

Veeneman said that dirt is "moving" and plans for the new track remain on schedule for a 2010 opening.
