Maryland racing interests seek 20 more racing days to raise funds
The Maryland Racing Council told the racing commission it would press for 20 extra days for the three major tracks if the tax is raised. They estimate 300,000 extra dollars for the state and 175,000 from five half mile tracks if days rise from 10 to 12. Some tracks oppose or hedge, and officials question legislative support.
