Announcements
Confederation Cup Postponed
April 23, 2020 - Flamboro Downs has announced
today their decision to postpone the running of the 2020 Confederation Cup
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It is difficult at this time to
announce an alternative date for the Confederation Cup without knowing
what other tracks are doing with their own stakes schedules” states
Flamboro Downs General Manager, Chad Gates. “Flamboro will be exploring
possible dates in September that will best align with stakes schedules
within the industry”.
Facilities Closed Until Further Notice
On Wednesday, March 18, 2020 Great Canadian Gaming
Corporation announced the temporary closure of its facilities to the
public, until further notice, at all its racetracks that are currently
active. This includes Flamboro Downs in Hamilton, Ontario and Georgian
Downs in Innisfil, Ontario where live racing is currently carrying on
throughout the months of July and August 2020.
Great Canadian recently decided to conduct racing at all three tracks
without spectators as it was deemed necessary to protect the health and
well-being of Great Canadian’s team members, the industry participants
that race and train at the racetracks, and the support personnel for the
industry.
Flamboro Downs is scheduled to resume live racing in
September 2020.
