"The continued success of Woodbine's live racing program and the significant employment and economic impacts which come with it are dependent on a new partnership between the industry and the Province of Ontario.

"We remain optimistic that such a new arrangement can be achieved. We continue to work with the government toward this end and hope to be able to provide the necessary certainty soon for all stakeholders in the province."
