Frequently Asked Questions


Who has to be licensed to participate in horse racing? 

Anyone who is directly involved in any capacity in racing must be licensed by SLGA (ex. owners, jockeys, association employees, stable employees). The horse racing fee table is available here.

What are the rules of horse racing?


What if I disagree with a decision made by SLGA regarding a horse racing sanction?

Any licensing party who disagrees with a SLGA decision has the right to apply to the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Licensing Commission (SLGLC) for an appeal. The SLGLC is an independent, quasi-judicial body which reviews SLGA decisions with respect to licensing, registration, cancellation and suspension issues.
