The commit- tee had met with a joint meeting of , the Ontario Racing Commis- sion and the Federal Department of Agriculture to seek what the future held for the Orono race track. Although nothing is officiai, it was, reported that Friday night racing- by the Oshawa group may b". out this year. 11 Mr. L-ovekin said it did appear that the trend was to larger, better equippcd tracks and th at the smail tracks would be closed out.-He said iast year the Orono track had to have installed a hub rail and that better iighting was now a requirement. This latter improvement could cost up to $30,000.00 and even with this im- provement no guarantcc could be given that racing would be allow- ed to continue at the Orono track. Mr. Lovekin could sec no way ouf of ail the regulations which could also include better parking facilities and others. The executive of the Fair Board is to consider whether or not they will hold racing on the Friday night of the fair. Consider- ation of this matter is due to the fact that flhc Board may -become liable if an accident happened due to the lighting faci]ities which did not meet the required stand. ard s. Iu regards the Friday night rac- ing it was pointed ouf that Friday night dates had not as yet been aiotted by the regulating Board. AUl other days date hav e been ai- lot ted. It was also stated at the meeting by' Mr. Lovekin that ov- er the past two years the dates were awarded the Oshawa group and not ta the fair hoard. Peter- borough has been given eighty racing days for 1972. lm-aùâý
