AS THE OVAL RETURNS? MORE RUTS THAN AN OFF TRACK FOR HORSE INDUSTRY
Congratulations to CENTURY CASINO for the successful RFP bid, that has left a bitter taste in the mouth of the RIVER CREE proposal group.
With the recent horse sale showing a 40% decline in average to $7.4k from the previous $11.4 k / 2015 average confidence in the future of horse racing needs a major confidence rebuilding plan that is today lacking from the present HRA governance model!
The CAPTAIN in his presentation to council spoke of a 3 year business plan, has anyone seen it or is it being used for filler on the bottom of a bird cage?
NORTHLANDS/REID admit to a $9.2 million loss with the arena move downtown, and $3 million loss in EXPO CENTRE operations, with a recent poll showing that 57% favour a change in governance with a possible down sizing of operations, where will the millions of required barn repairs to duct tape the facility until fall 2018? come from, possibly mushroom grow operations in the barn areas?
HBPA has a tough job in convincing the OLD MONEY the back bone of owners group to hang in for another 2 years, with declining equine population and backstretch workers leaving, will the confines of LEDUC/NISKU reap new rewards for the industry, only time will tell?
CONGRATULATIONS to FOR CASH Vermillion fractional ownership group with about 20 in the picture with combining operations reducing the crowd from the usual 60, and Frank/Nicky for the recent speed to spare win. Hopefully, the COSTCO COORS LIGHT 60 packs made it the backstretch safely.
