The Ontario Racing Commission heard applications from Fort Erie Racetrack for teletheatre licences at Buffy's Tavern and the Rex Hotel, locations previously licensed to Flamboro Downs.
Flamboro opposed the applications, arguing its contracts with the locations were still subsisting.
The Commission found that the previous licences had expired and that granting the applications to Fort Erie would separate the Hamilton and Niagara areas for teletheatre purposes, which was in the public interest.
The applications were granted.
