A jockey says the shuttered Marquis Downs shows that Prairieland Park is failing to live up to its obligations to the City of Saskatoon.
Prairieland’s unilateral decision to end horse racing at the only track in Saskatchewan, based on vague references to financial instability, was met with skepticism — and rightfully so. A look into the past reveals that the corporation has struggled to uphold the principles of social responsibility for many years.The duty to operate Marquis Downs was not imposed upon Prairieland.
Each track was also given a licence to collect a share of betting revenue, a system closely monitored by the government. Regina’s track was denied a licence and forced to close, while Prairieland was entitled to the entire province’s betting revenue without oversight., Prairieland quietly hosted an out-of-province group for 10 days of live racing, the bare minimum required to obtain the entire province’s betting revenue for two whole years.
In failing to enforce its own legally binding agreement, city council has lost sight of the lease’s primary purpose — safeguarding its taxpayers’ interests.
