No resolution in the Stronach-Carstanjen meeting yesterday, but Calder management has relented on the shipping restriction this morning... Horses can go back & forth to Gulfstream.
CALDER RELAXES HORSE SHIPPING POLICY
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (February 26, 2011) – Calder Casino & Race Course today announced that it will allow horses that have shipped to other racetracks to compete in races at other venues to re-enter the Calder stable area and continue to use assigned stalls in the Calder stable area until further notice. Horses that ship to Gulfstream Park to participate in today’s Fountain of Youth program will be allowed to return to Calder.
“We know this has been a confusing time for the horsemen who participate in the racing programs at both Calder and Gulfstream Park, and we are returning to our normal stable-area ship-in policies so we can avoid impacting their operational routines,” said John Marshall, Calder’s vice president and general manager. “Calder wants what’s best for South Florida racing. We continue to look at our racing schedule for the coming year, and as in prior years, we will do what’s right for the South Florida racing community, including Calder, its horsemen and racing fans.”
