Show detail Hide detail

Dominion and Ontario Racing Boards : The CWA constitution specifies that the Dominion Racing Board (DRB) was to be composed of a Chairman and four other members appointed by the Chairman and confirmed by the CWA Executive / Board of Directors. The duties of the Dominion Racing Board included the administration of all aspects of professional and amateur racing and the assignment of Canadian Championships to such clubs or districts as was deemed advisable. The DRB also sanctioned other races; set the distances for all Canadian and provincial championships; investigated complaints that athletes had breached their amateur status; heard protests; registered professional riders and trainers; and issued and / or revoked suspensions and penalties. The Ontario Racing Board (ORB), like other District (provincial) boards, was composed of a District Chairman and two or more members appointed by him. As a district board, the duties of the ORB included issuing amateur licences; approving decisions of track officials; issuing suspensions; censoring the character of prizes; receiving information on gate receipts and attendance at amateur events; and allotting district, county and city championships.
