AGCO INFORMATION SESSION

June 21, 2024

Attention Members,

The HBPA heard your concerns regarding the new claiming rule, which is coming into effect on Thursday July 4th.

There has been much discussion regarding the confusion of these changes. The HBPA has been meeting with Woodbine, Fort Erie and the AGCO to discuss possible revisions to the initial rule. The discussions were amicable and co-operative.

There will be an opportunity for those in attendance to ask questions after each session.

Information Sessions are as follows:
