Here is the
Racing Future website, organized by Dennis Mills, long-time racing booster and former politician in Ontario:

Looks like for Ft Erie, there will be a focus on promoting the site (including racing) to Chinese and South Asian communities in Southern Ontario, also New York State - part of the Niagara destination thing. Now if they could also make a tie-in to the Jamaican / Caribbean communities, that would account for about 60%+ of the people I see whenever I go to Woodbine!
Here is Racing Future's promotion plan including the Chinese '
Year of the Horse' festival and projected finances -->
here. Looks like some holes still exist and a lot of 'hope it works out' involved. The physical plant needs a lot of work as well. The 5 year plan they talk about is what they really need if horsemen will really commit to stabling and running their stock there again.
Looks like another stop on the way to/from Saratoga again this year!
