Laurel Meeting Faces Possible Cancellation Over Horse Ban
Baltimore July 13 The 36 1 day fall racing meet at Laurel scheduled to start Sept 10 may be canceled unless the Office of Defense Transportation lifts the ban on shipping horses by common or contract carriers. About 3 000 horses would be needed, with 1 200 stabled at Laurel and others at Bowie and Pimlico. If modification is allowed, racing could occur at Laurel and Pimlico. Mahoney proposes permits to ship horses home without affidavits to avoid a "death warrant" for owners while not increasing transport burden.
