Youbet.com, Inc. and the Ontario Jockey Club have come to terms on a non-exclusive agreement to offer live online horseracing and wagering on all races from Woodbine (Toronto, Canada) and Mohawk (Campbellville, Canada).
The Ontario Jockey Club (OJC) fields more live racing than any other horseracing organization in North America, and is the parent company of both Woodbine and Mohawk.
"We believe Youbet.com is an exciting distribution platform that has the ability to bring new customers to the sport and to expand the distribution of The Ontario Jockey Club racing throughout the United States," OJC President and CEO David Willmot said.
"The Ontario Jockey Club racing organization is an important addition to the You Bet Network as we begin to expand our offering to include international racing," added Ron Luniewski, executive vice president and COO of Youbet.com.
The OJC, one of the oldest and largest racing organizations in North America, operates Woodbine, which runs Standardbred racing Jan 1 - Mar 21, May 24 - Sep 4, and Nov 22 - Dec 31, 1999, and runs Thoroughbred racing Apr 2 - Dec 5, 1999, and Mohawk, for standardbreds only, which runs Mar 22 - May 22, and Sep 6 - Nov 20 1999. It fields more live racing than any other horseracing organization in North America.
