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 breeding, horse training, greyhound breeding, and greyhound training industries, as well as other racing related industries. I support the Texas Racing Commission proposed rules that permit historical racing in Texas.

Bout time we keep the money here in Texas instead of sending it all off to Louisiana and Oklahoma.
Texas racing needs this bad. Too many tracks are struggling and we are losing top trainers to other states.
Everything is better in Texas except for our racing purses. Let's fix this so we can keep breeding quality horses here.
WE NEED HISTORICAL RACING NOW. The horse industry is hurting and this is the only way to save it.
