Louisiana Senate Upholds Locke Anti Racing Bill
A Senate joint committee in Baton Rouge ordered an 8 to 7 favorable report on the Locke Dill measure suppressing race track betting after a public hearing. Archbishop Bleak of New Orleans opposed it, marking another anti racing victory this session as the House already passed the bill last week. The Senate also postponed action on the Coral bill regulating racing commissions while advancing the Locke bill to third reading. In Montreal, the executive committee decided not to extend racing at the track despite profits, aiming to preserve the sport’s future.
