It does not go back to horseplayers or the horses for retirement.
We thought we had a deal in Ontario for it to go back to players, but when the vote came up, the tracks and horseman groups voted to continue to keep it for themselves.

Thank you, Dean...
if they use some for backstretch improvements, it can't be much...as far as I can see, that part of the tracks haven't changed much...as bad as ever, IMO...
and IMO, some should go to jockey insurance... but it would not surprise me if some goes to things like fancy new tables and carpet in board rooms!
