Please be advised that due to the continuing difficulty of hiring people the security personnel at the gate are contracted employees for the night shift. The contracted employees perform a limited role and therefore cannot let people into the barn area between the hours of 9:00PM and 5:00AM. If it is necessary to access the backstretch the guard can call the security manager on the front side and access should be granted if required. The security personnel are aware of this procedure. If you are planning to ship horses into the backstretch within this restricted time frame, please advise ahead of time so entry arrangements can be made. If you encounter issues, please call Nigel Holmes at 604-788-7589.
