Weekly Update

Racing starts Wednesday, March 17, 2021 and will continue each Wednesday and Friday up to and including April 30, 2021. We do continue to feel optimistic that we will receive funding to allow us to race longer but must remain non-committal at this stage. Our objective for 2021 is to race 63 race dates for the year and we remain focused on this goal. We have the support of the operator in this endeavour, but it currently is difficult to do any kind of scheduling without the actual funds in our account. 

The same is true with our 2021 stakes, when funds are available it will only be a matter of reviewing the available dollars and then schedule the events in a timely fashion. It is next to impossible currently to produce a schedule of the stakes up to the time that we receive more information on the amount of assistance we are to receive.
