Woodbine Entertainment lobbying to expand Mohawk Racetrack into a full-blown casino:

3 years ago or 2 years ago they spoke of horses being slaughtered due to the decoupling up north. Fort Erie talked of calling it quits as did various harness tracks.
Then I see they somehow kept afloat without direct slots revenue. Mohawk charges 'rent' to the racino.
Think a 5 year subsidy was created with Fort Erie. Not sure about other details. Maybe some of our neighbors up north can clarify?
I know I like Hastings Race Course amongst other Canadian tracks. Would love to see them continue to do well.
I'm still sad Blue Bonnets is gone as my family used to go there back in the 70's.
