On Monday, March 7, Ontario Racing Commission Chair Rod Seiling released an open letter in regard to the implementation of the Ontario Racing Program
.
The letter starts off by stating,
With the implementation of the Ontario Racing Program now underway, a new “province-wide” approach to horse racing is closer to reality. The Program is based on a framework that was approved by the Board of the Ontario Racing Commission (ORC) in September 2010, following a 14-month long consultation with the industry. I believe that this framework will greatly improve racing in Ontario, as well as assist the Commission to meet its responsibilities, as set out in the Racing Commission Act.
