14-Nov-05. Horse race plan puts local charities on alert. Red Deer Advocate, A1.

Charitable groups fear that their charitable casino revenues will decline if a horse racing track with 99 slot machines is approved in the Red Deer area. Rocky Mountain Turf Club Inc., which runs a track in Lethbridge, has applied for a provincial licence to race horses at an unspecified site near Highway 2. The company plans to include 99 Vegas-style slot machines, a sports bar and simulcast horse racing facilities.
