A new racing facility in Anoka County, Running Aces Harness Park, may now televise on its video screens races other than those being run on its race track.
Sponsored by Rep. Debra Hilstrom (DFL-Brooklyn Center) and Sen. Ann Rest (DFL-New Hope), the new law allows a race track in the Twin Cities seven-county metropolitan area to simulcast racing of all horse breeds, not just the breed racing at that track.
It also requires a contribution to the purse set-aside account of other race tracks in Minnesota, and to the breeders’ fund.
The law is effective April 26, 2008, one day after it was signed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
