Racing fans can’t place Kentucky Derby bets in Ontario’s fixed-odds industry

Messier is the 8-1 early third choice for the Kentucky Derby. Woodbine Entertainment has the only pari-mutuel betting license in Ontario. It allows it to run wagering for all of the province's horse-racing tracks via two apps. The company wants to integrate its network into Ontario's online sportsbooks. Jim Lawson, the CEO of Wood bine, says the horse racing industry employs 25,000 people and is important to Ontario’s economy. The CPMA is working with the Attorney General to make sure the content offered by sports-betting operators is consistent with Criminal Code.
