A dispute that had threatened the upcoming meet at the Fair Grounds has been resolved, which means the meet will be held as scheduled, from Nov. 22 to Mar. 23. Churchill Downs Inc., which owns the Fair Grounds, was threatening to close the track after the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled in March that the statute that legalized Historical Horse Racing Machines at the OTBs run by Fair Grounds was not legal and that the machines could not continue to operate without voter approval. CDI officials previously said that shutting down the HHR machines would mean the elimination of 46% of its off-track betting parlor revenue. CDI also said it would also be hurt by state laws this year expanding poker machines at truck stops and bars. Citing those problems, CDI threatened to surrender its racing license. An agreement between horsemen and CDI was reached on Monday that will allow the meet to proceed. However, it was not immediately clear as to what ended the impasse. The Blood-Horse was first with the story. “We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the horsemen to continue racing at Fair Grounds Race Course following productive conversations with Governor Landry and Senator Henry,” said CDI spokesperson Tonya Abeln. “We remain committed to collaboration with stakeholders in pursuit of positive outcomes for the horse racing industry in Louisiana and look forward to continuing to move forward–our focus is firmly on the future.” Abeln acknowledged that progress was made after “productive conversations” with Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and Louisiana Senate President Cameron Henry. “I understand they worked everything out in a meeting yesterday,” said owner-breeder Michelle Rodriguez, who is on the Board on the Louisiana HBPA. “I have been told that they have agreed to start the meet in late November and then end it March, which is similar to what we had this year. The dates will be discussed at an emergency meeting of the Racing Commission. They came to the table. One of the representatives from Churchill Downs was at Evangeline Downs the other night and that's how I found out about the meeting. It's not set in stone yet, but we feel now that since the impasse has been broken we should be in good shape. All is good. We are all very happy.” The agreement will not be official until after all sides come together for a June 24 emergency meeting of the Louisiana Racing Commission. However, it appears to be a formality as all sides appear to now be on the same page. One factor that may have caused CDI to strike a more conciliatory tone was action taken last week by the New Orleans City Council and state lawmakers to ensure that the property could not be developed for other uses. The City Council created an interim zoning district to ensure the property remains a racetrack. Meanwhile, state lawmakers passed legislation to designate the Fair Grounds as a historic site, requiring legislative approval for major changes such as pulling the plug on horse racing. Benard Chatters, the president of the Louisiana HBPA told the Blood-Horse “We're gonna take a slight decrease in purses, but we'll be creative to try to make some things happen … I think we'll be running for close to the same thing we ran for last year.” The post Agreement Reached, Fair Grounds Will Hold 2025-26 Meet appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

I haven't heard a single female in the industry comment about it until now, so once again a non issue for the absolutely hopeless NZTR . Did not thing there could be a worse CEO than BS but it looks like they might have found one. Just another weak attempt at appearing relevant. -
Yeah wow he is going to be really feeling it for Grass roots in this country, watch the huge impact he has in this group for grass roots participants .

None of them have any of the required level of empathy to be considered advocates of grass roots racing in this country, people change you know.
