HTN: Rallying to Save Fort Erie Track

A chunk of the Canadian horse-racing industry rallied Sunday to try to save Fort Erie Race Track. Harsh weather didn't keep horsemen from coming out in support of the the 100-year-old facility. Owners Nordic Gaming Corporation last week passed out nearly 200 pink slips to racetrack workers. The company says there will be no summer racing unless the Province of Ontario agrees to a request for three-million dollars. Fort Erie Mayor Doug Martin says he's supposed to have an answer to his request for government funding by January 15th.
