If Ontario’s provincial government does not reverse its position ending the slots at provincial racetracks, this year’s 153rd running of the famed Queen’s Plate could be the last.
That announcement was made at Thursday’s Plate draw by Nick Eaves, president and CEO of Woodbine Entertainment.
“If we don’t have an operating model to take us past the first of April 2013 then I can’t see a way for us to operate and if we’re not operating there won’t be a Queen’s Plate,” said Eaves, in a scrum.
