Panama gaming authority and horse-racing groups agree steps to avert stoppage
Panama’s Junta de Control de Juegos and horse-racing groups agreed steps to prevent racing at Hipódromo Presidente Remón from stopping on 4 May 2023, the authority’s executive secretary Manuel Sánchez said. The groups will seek a draft collaboration contract from Hípica de Panamá by 5 May and request an audit over approximately B/.600,000 in 2022 prize funds that they say the operator retained.
The agreement aims to avert a racing stoppage while groups seek a collaboration contract and audit of retained prize funds.
