The Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association and The Jockey Club of Canada are hosting an Ownership Seminar on Saturday, July 1 at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto.
The day-long event is being held during the inaugural two-day Queen’s Plate Festival and will offer those in town for the country’s top day of racing an up close and personal view of Thoroughbred ownership. The audience will have the opportunity to speak with leading owners, breeders, trainers and industry professionals.
“TOBA is honored and thrilled at the opportunity to partner with The Jockey Club of Canada to host a day at Woodbine,” said Dan Metzger, president of TOBA. “Expanding the ownership base is one of the most pressing issues in our sport and our seminars play an important role in developing new owners.” Topics to be covered are ownership, equine health, provincial incentives and racing programs, sales and breeding, as well as legal and business issues.
“This clinic and day of racing are excellent ways to show new owners and fans the exciting atmosphere of the Queen’s Plate Festival and how accessible racing is to the general public,” added Jeff Begg, Chief Steward of The Jockey Club of Canada. “Virtually anyone can own a piece of a racehorse and participate in the major leagues of our sport. Understanding that and general concepts that these clinics offer, is so important to our industry.”
The 2017 seminar and clinic schedule and registration are available at www.toba.org. All materials, meals and tickets are included. Advanced registration is encouraged
