Official Statement from Sam Houston Race Track:

This morning Sam Houston Race Park received official notice reinstating its ability to conduct simulcast wagering and live racing from the Texas Racing Commission.

Accordingly, Sam Houston Race Park will open at 10:30am with the first televised race scheduled for 11:30am. The following is a statement from Sam Houston Race Park President, Andrea B. Young:

“We are glad to see our ability to operate our business restored. However, we remain extremely concerned with both the process and the extremely short period of funding. Like any business, we need to be able to plan farther out than three months.

On behalf of all the hard-working Texans impacted by the recent shutdown, we plan to continue our efforts to strengthen the Texas racing industry. To that end, we look forward to having our day in court on historical racing.”

kinda figured on this...stall applications down 36% (about 700) at Sam Houston, who the hell wants to plan on coming to Houston with the clowns we have in the legislature and laws that allow them to dole out the money generated from the business......

latest...and doesnt sound promising

"Commission chairman Rolando Pablos, whom Gov. Greg Abbott appointed to the board last week after former chair Robert Schmidt stepped down from the leadership role, made clear during the meeting that he was in favor of a repeal. After the vote, he said the commission might as well begin taking steps to shut itself down."

A state judge in South Texas signed a temporary restraining order Monday that has given hope to the state’s struggling horse and dog racing industries.

With his order, state District Judge Leonel Alejandro halted an effort by conservatives in the Legislature to do away with a type of gambling called “historical racing.” The Texas Racing Commission was scheduled to vote Tuesday morning to repeal a rule to allow the relatively new form of betting.
