This afternoon the Ontario Racing Commission released a ruling that orders the suspension of Great Canadian Gaming Corporation's plans to close the backstretch at Flamboro Downs.
The ruling states that John Blakney, executive director of the ORC, has determined that the closure may be prejudicial to the best interests of racing and has ordered an investigation into the matter.
"Until such time that the executive director has made a final determination into the matter, GCGC cannot implement its decision, which would have required the horsepeople to remove themselves and the horses from the facilities at Flamboro on or before July 31, 2006," the ruling states.
Further, the ORC has indicated that any costs associated with the investigation shall be the responsibility of GCGC.
