How the province of Ontario which receives 1.1 billion dollars from the horse racing industry, but has pledged a mere 500 million dollars in transition funding to the industry is simply ridiculous.
Why would the OLG even try to separate the horse racing industry from its gaming activity is beyond me. Whether you put money into a slot machine, on a table playing cards, buy a lottery ticket or make a bet on a horse it is all a form of gambling.
I thought it only fitting that I post the sketch for a painting of harness horses in the barns between training miles at Kawartha Downs.
I will post this drawing at a later date once more of it is completed.
