Frankie's Gulfstream Park has reached a racing agreement with its horsemen that will expire halfway through the track’s upcoming meet, a representative of the Florida Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association said on Thursday.
The unusual agreement will expire on Feb. 28, requiring horsemen and the track to negotiate an additional deal or extension while the meet is running, according to Kent Stirling, the executive director of the horsemen’s association.
Stirling said that Frank Stronach, the chairman of MI Developments, participated in the negotiations and told horsemen that “the model’s broken” without providing specifics on changes the company would be seeking.
