New York state, in the first full day controlling the New York Racing Association, said it will review a tentative deal track officials previously made to replace United Tote as NYRA’s totalizator contractor.

The death of a race course? Funding cuts take toll – CNN.com

Fort Erie racetrack is one of the best in North America. It would be a sad day for racing if it closed.

The death of a race course? Funding cuts take toll – CNN.com
http://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/12/sport/horse-racing-funding-cuts/index.html

“The whole racing industry in Ontario is in trouble,” Fort Erie Economic Development and Tourism Corporation manager, Jim Thibert, said.

“Fort Erie Race Track is on a closing plan for the end of this year. The only thing that would interrupt that plan would be if we increased our business from CAD$30million ($30.6million) to CAD$35million ($35.6million) a year.”

Thibert said the outlook was fairly bleak for the historic track which employs 240 people. It is thought another 600 jobs could be lost through support services if it is forced to close its doors as planned in December.

Battlelines are clearly drawn. The Jockey club position on one side, and the pro-drug position of some horsemen on the other.

International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) chairman Louis Romanet has applauded the continued efforts of The Jockey Club to prohibit race-day medication in U.S. racing.

During closing remarks at the IFHA annual international conference Oct. 8 in Paris, Romanet praised The Jockey Club president James Gagliano’s conference presentation on U.S. medication reform efforts.

“The Jockey Club core belief that ‘Horses should compete only when they are free from the influence of medication,’ sounds like very nice music to my ears,” said Romanet, before addressing Gagliano directly. “Jim, I am sure that everybody in that room today is wishing you good luck to win this strategic battle.”

The gaming act is generating momentum for the state’s long-declining thoroughbred horse racing industry, which has dwindled to one unprofitable track, Suffolk Downs in Revere. In addition to authorizing the creation of a slot parlor and three casinos, the bill stipulated that a portion of gambling revenues be used to increase purses and boost bonuses for Massachusetts horse owners and breeders.
