AGA Service Company et alĬLERK'S NOTICE: Discovery Hearing (Dkts. Horse owners said if racetracks close that will leave thousands of horses across the province without a purpose, meaning they could be up for slaughter.Notice Regarding Press and Public Access to Court Hearings Information on Observing Court Proceedings Held by VideoconferenceĤ:20-cv-06304-JST - Elgindy et al v. "I don't know what but I know this farm will be for sale." "All our dreams are shattered, we have to look for something else," said Wayne Laviolette, owner of Hillside Stables. "It's gone, totally gone, with no income left." "There's 12 years of my investment," he said. Gary McDonald said he's sorry his son is following in his footsteps. "If there are only two or three tracks that survive, do the math."
"We have about 2,000 horses that are racing in this region and there are 17 tracks," said Gary McDonald. That's set to change when the province ends that funding agreement along with the monopoly on slots at racetracks to explore other casino locations. The changes will affect the purse, or how much the horse owners get to split from the winners.Ĭurrently the government gets 75 per cent of the revenue from slot machines at the track, while the horse owners get ten per cent. "I poured every dime into it, harness, equipment, horses, everything, shaving, stall-rent, feed - whatever I had, I put into it." "It's over, that's it, this time next year they're going to shut the doors, no more money, no more racing, no more anything," he said. Matthew McDonald is a third-generation horseman who said he now regrets opening his own stables last September. They said proposed changes to how the government funds slots at racetracks will mean the loss of their livelihood. Harness racers at the Rideau-Carleton Raceway are warning of the death of the industry if the province goes ahead with gambling reforms.
