Post-Pandemic Horse Racing Economic Impact Survey

February 2, 2024

Thank you for taking the time to participate in the post-pandemic horse racing economic impact study. Your input, through this survey, will help ensure that the study captures a diverse range of data that accurately reflects the industry’s economic footprint. This initiative will help us assess how the horse racing landscape has changed since 2019. The more horse owners, breeders and trainers that participate, the more representative the data will be in estimating the sector’s contribution to Ontario’s economy.

We assure that your confidentiality will be protected. Only the OLG Economic Impact Team will have access to your responses. This information will be maintained in a secure environment after the project. Results will be presented at an aggregate level – sets of questions will be totaled, then those totals will be averaged. The reporting on study results will provide no opportunity for anyone to identify you or your business information.

All questions refer to calendar year 2023 (with end date between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023). If you have your financial records in hand, this survey should take roughly 20 minutes to complete.
