AGCO rules require annual licences for Standardbred trainers
Source: AGCO (Ontario)
Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) rules require people training horses or listed as trainers at extended meetings to hold a current-year licence. The rules set out A, C and F licence categories, allow judges to review a trainer’s performance and require trainers to safeguard horses against interference and prohibited substances.
Trainers and racing operators must follow the licensing categories and horse-protection requirements to participate in Ontario Standardbred racing.
