Racing Group Calls for Bids for St Francis County Track
In Little Rock the Arkansas Racing Commission advertised bids for a St. Francis County horse racing track. Bids will be opened at the January 16 meeting. McMath removed seven commission members after a December session that closed the plan. The action violated state law, as officials stayed in office until successors were appointed. The commission, in a closed session, asked for bids on the St Francis Willey Butt Association application. Robert J. Bollea and Glenn C. Walther filed applications after Commission Secretary Carl Parker refused bids, actions tied to McMath. Walther and Bollea were linked to Dixie Downs, which sought a franchise in West Memphis. McMath has opposed a second track in Arkansas.
