SB763 HFA AM Doyle 4-10
Delegates Doyle and Tabb move to amend the Judiciary Committee amendment by striking the amendment in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"On page 20, section 13b, line 168, by striking all of subdivision (1) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"(1) (A) Each pari-mutuel thoroughbred horse track shall provide at least one restricted race per racing day: Provided, That sufficient horses and funds are available.
(B) Each pari-mutuel thoroughbred horse track that, after April 10, 2009, provides restricted races that were, in the aggregate, at least ninety percent full on the average over a period of six consecutive months shall thereafter provide at least two restricted races per racing day: Provided, That sufficient horses and funds are available. A track that provides two restricted races per day that are, in the aggregate, on the average less than sixty-seven percent full over a period of six consecutive months, is thereafter no longer required to provide two restricted races per day until it again meets the requirements to provide two restricted races per day pursuant to this subdivision.
(C) Each pari-mutuel thoroughbred horse track that is providing two restricted races per day that, in the aggregate, average at least ninety percent full for six consecutive months after the reenactment of this section by Act of the 2009 Regular Session of the Legislature shall thereafter provide at least three restricted races per racing day: Provided, That sufficient horses and funds are available. A track that provides three restricted races per day as required by this subsection that in the aggregate average less than sixty-seven percent full over a period of six consecutive months, is thereafter no longer required to provide three restricted races per day until it again meets the requirements to provide three restricted races per day pursuant to this subdivision. For purposes of this subsection, there are sufficient horses if there are at least seven single betting interests received for the race: Provided further, That if sufficient horses and funds are available, any thoroughbred horse racetrack whose licensee participated in the Thoroughbred Development Fund for at least four consecutive calendar years prior to December 31, 1992, shall provide two restricted races per racing day, at least one of which may be split at the discretion of the racing secretary. The restricted race races required by this section must be included in the first nine races written in the condition book for that racing day."
