Started by Texas Quarter Horse Association Texas 12 years ago
The Texas Racing Commission has proposed rules to provide for pari-mutuel wagering on historical racing at Texas race tracks in order to provide higher purses for live racing conducted in Texas. This will promote economic development and jobs in the Texas agricultural, horse racing, horse breeding, horse training,and other related industries. I support the Texas Racing Commission proposed rules that permit historical racing in Texas.

Updates

The feedback regarding the economic potential for the Texas horse racing industry continues to confirm the importance of this initiative. I am currently coordinating with stakeholders to ensure the commission understands the depth of support for these proposed rules. Further updates will be provided as the process moves forward.

The sustained momentum behind this petition demonstrates a clear consensus regarding the future of the Texas horse racing industry. This level of engagement reinforces our position as we prepare to present these concerns to the commission.

ITS ABOUT TIME. we are losing so much money to neighboring states that already have these rules in place.
