Ontario Racing reminds horsepeople that the deadline for Standardbred Equine Benefit applications is Monday (Feb. 8).
The Standardbred Equine Benefit application for the January payment can be found at this this link. No application is required for the December payment.
Details on the criteria required to be eligible to receive an equine benefit payment, which was established in response to the cancellation of live racing across the province due to COVID-19, can be found by clicking here.
All mailed applications must be postmarked by Feb. 8 in order to be eligible. Please email or mail completed applications to:
Attn: Sarrah Young – [email protected]
Ontario Racing Management

Important Notes:
• All payments received must be used for the care and maintenance of Standardbred horses noted on the submitted application.
• Ontario Racing reserves the right to request additional information to ensure all criteria has been met. Those receiving benefits under the program could be subject to an audit by Ontario Racing. Failure to meet the criteria will result in all amounts being repaid to Ontario Racing.
