The Quebec Jockey Club did not have much choice, as most of us can imagine. And so it is that in recent days, the director of operations at Hippodrome 3R, François Carignan, announced the postponement of the Quebec Gala of Champions awards banquet that was to be held on January 15.
The new public health restrictions from the Government of Quebec related to COVID-19, which now prohibit any indoor gathering whatsoever, left little choice for the gala committee.
For the moment, the solution chosen is to postpone the gala until the beginning of the new 2022 race season, sometime at the end of April and the beginning of May. The location of the awards banquet will be announced at a later date.
