A Thoroughbred Racetrack in Marion County’s Future? It’s a Possibility!

An initiative that would activate a dormant, nonprofit thoroughbred racing permit was revealed Dec. 9 at the Global Symposium on Racing, whose objective would be to build a racetrack and entertainment complex in Marion County.

The area’s existing infrastructure, with many of the nation’s best veterinarians, clinics, a major sales company, training centers, transport companies, farriers and tack stores, account for a powerful ecosystem. The one missing component is a live thoroughbred racing meet, but that may change as the state’s two existing thoroughbred tracks located in Hallandale Beach and Oldsmar have considered decoupling their racing permits from their casino and card room respectively.

What would happen next? A racetrack and entertainment complex in Ocala? An entity has been formed to study its plausibility.

An announcement made at the Global Symposium on Racing hosted by the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program on Dec. 9, is the first evidence of any type of a plan to pursue a racetrack in Florida that’s attached to an existing license–one that’s totally centric to horse people, owners and breeders in particular, and will have a positive impact on the community and the economy, racing, breeding and sales, said Lonny Powell, Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association’s chief executive officer and executive vice president and OTR Permit chief executive officer and executive vice president. Having worked in every facet of the industry, Powell was on the symposium’s panel, Reinventing Racing’s Business Model: Lessons from the State Battles and Policy Shifts.
“The thing about our industry that is always such a challenge, we need to embrace potential solutions, rather than be disappointed that it wasn’t our idea,” said Powell.
