BILL NUMBER:S2901
Title of bill
An act to amend the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, in relation to resources of the New York state thorough- bred breeding and development fund
Purpose
To amend § 254 of the Racing Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law ("Racing Law") to provide the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund ("Fund") with greater discretion to allocate its resources.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends the Racing Law to clarify that existing purse enrich- ment allocation percentages to tracks and incentives can be awarded to NY Breds regardless of the type of race it has entered (open or restricted).
Section two is the effective date.
Existing law
The existing purse enrichment provision provides that the monies allocated to purse enrichment be divided in a 60/40 proportion between the New York thoroughbred track operators.
Justification
The existing purse enrichment-related requirement that specific allotments to NY Breds running in only restricted races prevents the Fund from awarding a larger pool of NY Breds and further incentives NY breeders and owners to enter open company races.
