Statement from Thoroughbred Racing Initiative senior advisor Damon Thayer after the Florida Legislature adjourned today with the Senate declining to act on a bill that would have permitted Gulfstream Park to retain its slots license without having live horse racing:"We are proud that, for the second year in a row, decoupling legislation before the Florida Legislature has been defeated by our industry-wide coalition representing owners, trainers, breeders, veterinarians, sales companies and the many small businesses that create the thoroughbred industry’s massive ecosystem. We are appreciative of the lawmakers who understand the $3.2 billion annual economic impact and 33,500 jobs at stake in Florida’s horse racing, breeding and training agribusiness."But our work is far from done. Now TRI and our coalition partners will pivot toward creating a path forward for a stronger Florida thoroughbred industry that provides long-term stability and prosperity. Let’s be clear: We want Gulfstream Park to be part of that future, but we’re also planning alternatives. This legislative offseason, we’ll be tirelessly working with our friends in the Legislature on statutes, where necessary, that will ensure the Sunshine State’s signature thoroughbred industry not just survives but thrives for decades to come."

With decoupling legislation, which would have crippled Florida's thoroughbred racing and breeding industries, defeated for this legislative session, TRI and our coalition partners that include the Florida Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association and Tampa Bay Downs HBPA, Inc. now look ahead to the future. Let's be clear: Our first hope is that includes Gulfstream Park, while maintaining our 20-year-old agreement -- voted for by the public -- that allows the track to have slots as long as the track has live horse racing. But we must also look at alternatives for a path forward to keep Florida thoroughbred racing and breeding not just alive but to thrive for decades to come. This involves stakeholders working in unison.📸Coglianese Photography Damon Thayer OBS - Ocala Breeders' Sales Casse Racing Ocala Stud Farm National HBPA Rail Talk The Pressbox ... See MoreSee Less

The Arizona Attorney General today filed criminal charges against one of our registered exchanges related to prediction markets. This is a jurisdictional dispute and entirely inappropriate as a criminal prosecution. The @CFTC is watching this closely and evaluating its options.
