On your mark...get set....get read for a new racetrack in Saint John....Horse Racing NB revamping the raceway at Exhibition Park to market the sport to a new, younger audience.
Jeff Malloy of Horse Racing NB tells CHSJ News there's the added benefit of creating 150 jobs and perhaps even more spin-off jobs.
The new, expanded raceway won't necessarily include more seats, but simply a brighter, more modern look and feel. It will be built in a partnership with the Woodstock First Nation.
