ALBERTA RACING CORPORATION
RACING CORPORATION ACT
RACE TRACK LICENSING RULES
________________________________________________________________________
Statement of objectives:
Central to the Alberta Racing Corporation's plan for the strategic
direction of the horse racing industry is the implementation of the
recommendations of the Alberta Horse Racing Industry Review, Working
Committee Recommendations 2001. Implementation will be achieved by the
solidification of principle racing venues, using race track licensing as
the catalyst, guided by sound business and strategic plans.
In seeking and considering proposals for race track licences in Alberta it
is the intention of the Corporation to:
(
a) promote the development of high quality race tracks for horses,
customers, owners and racing personnel;
(
b) enable the market for pari-mutuel horse racing to mature and
expand as warranted, largely by consumer demand;
(
c) limit the number of race track licences to the number which the
Corporation determines the Alberta market can support, so as to encourage
agriculture and the breeding of horses in Alberta, and to hold race meeting
in Alberta of the highest quality;
(
d) link race track licences dates, so that live horse racing is a
prerequisite for maintaining a gaming licence. These "Racing Entertainment
Centres' would include live horse racing (as their principal business) and
simulcasting (potentially both on and off track) and should also be
supported by other gaming facilities (for example, slot machines) as well
as other forms of entertainment.
(
e) ensure successful applicants for licences demonstrate a strong
emphasis on customer service and appreciation and a demonstrated
willingness to continually upgrade their facilities in the interests of
both the general public and racing industry participants.
It is the intent of the Corporation to carry out the recommendations made
by the Working Committee, outlined in the Alberta Horse Racing Industry
Review, to facilitate the initiative to implement the following number of
future live race days Alberta-wide:
2002 2003 2004 2005 2006
Standardbred "A" Track 111 111 130 135 140
Thoroughbred "A" Track 111 111 115 115 120
"B" Tracks 66 70 90 90 100
The Racing Corporation Act,1 allows the Corporation to establish rules and
require that race track operators be licensed.
The basic objectives of these Race Track Licensing Rules are to:
facilitate strategic, long term business planning on the part of
racing venues
establish a review and approval process whereby interested parties
are invited to submit proposals through a two-phase process permitting
suitable applicants to formally apply and compete for race track licences
in all market regions of Alberta
improve, in part, racing industry accountability
enable race track licensees to operate race tracks and contribute to
the development of the overall racing industry.
In the second phase of the licensing application process, applicants are
required to include information on their proposed racing operations,
marketing strategies, operating budgets, capital maintenance, physical
facilities, track size and development plans, and other pertinent
information. Also, a part of the licensing procedure will be the
requirement for race track operators to develop multi-year business plans
for their overall racing operations - such business plans to readily
identify the ways and means of stabilizing and improving the business and
sport of horse racing in their region.
