Ontario horse racing industry breathes sigh of relief as it escapes latest round of tariffs

Ontario horse racing industry breathes sigh of relief as it escapes latest round of tariff. Ontario’s horse racing industry appears to have been spared tariffs on both sides of the border. That means, for now, horses crossing between Canada and the United States will do so tariff free.

Ontario Racing maintains a tariffs information page.
