Maryland Racing Commission declines take increase on purses
The Maryland Racing Commission voted 4 to 1 against boosting the take from 12 to 13 percent on wagers at state tracks. Proponents argued extra funds would raise purses, but officials said the method lacked prudence. Tracks argued riders receive a larger share of the 12 percent cut, and the bill’s fate depends on legislative sponsorship and administration backing. Former UNC basketball star Doug Moe said he will serve a six month army tour before further action after being suspended for failing to report a bribe attempt.
