I find it amazing the State is able to repeal racing rules while being unable to get a governor to sign a bill.

Knowing IL 'In the event of the race being moved from grass to poly, a bettor who has a horse scratch will not be given the post time favorite but will rather be considered a loser'

Now if they can get rid of the ridiculous 1 1/16 mile races with the finish at the 1/16th pole......

That'll probably be next. Someday they might get a clue... and that day probably won't be in my lifetime.

So what is the rest of the rule? Is there a refund? Or does one's wagers get transferred to the post time favorite?

They appointed a 'super committee' and will decide by Thanksgiving.
