Industry Notice: Revision to Urging Provisions
On May 31, 2019, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) issued Standardbred Directive No. 3 – 2019 – Revision to Urging Provisions which amended the rules related to urging in Standardbred racing.  As announced in Information Bulletin 71the new rules and penalty guidelines became effective on June 3 at Woodbine Mohawk Park with the implementation date at other tracks to be determined.
 
Effective August 1, 2019, these provisions will be in effect at all Standardbred racetracks in Ontario.
 
This reform is part of the AGCO’s continuing commitment to enhancing the health and safety of horses and participants, and the integrity of racing.
 
Paddock meetings for industry participants and training for Racing Officials will be held prior to the implementation of the new rules. Inquiries may be directed to AGCO Race Officials at: https://www.agco.ca/race-day-contact-list or submitted online to the AGCO at www.agco.ca/iagco.
