The news was not as warmly welcomed by Woodbine CEO Jim Lawson. Horse racing is still not part of the sports betting package provided by these operators, and he would like to see the horse racing industry be allowed to participate in this sector.
“Sportsbooks coming to Woodbine & Mohawk racetracks today. Horse industry is not allowed to participate – so wrong,” said Lawson in a Twitter post. “[Government] prioritizing private casino before [Ontario] non-profit, Woodbine, that [Government] subsidizes. Woodbine desperate to earn its own way – let us compete in our own business.”

Sal says that Jim Lawson should have thought a bit more before he fought the single sports betting changes and lobbied to keep fixed odds betting on horse racing out of Canada.
Lawson’s logic is also fallacious. He’s not asking for a chance to have horse racing provide enough revenue to not require slots, he’s asking for a chance to dip into the sports betting pool. His use of the word subsidize shows what a fucking idiot he is. Just giving more ammo to the anti-horse-racers.
