Free Passes Questioned At Ocean Downs Hearings
Maryland Racing Commission chair D Eldred Rinehart led a hearing into alleged improper business management at Ocean Downs Raceway. An audit showed 17 009 free passes should have been taxed, leaving the state $2 581 unpaid, while only about 43 000 of 97 000 admissions in 1957 were paid. Ocean Downs board chairman James C. Robinson defended the practice as essential against Brandywine competition.
