The Thoroughbred Racing Initiative is sponsoring a bus trip for members of the Thoroughbred community in Ocala to travel to Tallahassee Tuesday for the Florida Senate Committee hearing on the decoupling bill.
The hearing on Senate Bill 408, which eliminates the minimum racing requirements and funding for purse and breeder awards in the statutes that Gulfstream Park supported when the original approval of slots was granted in 2005, goes before the regulated industries committee in a two-hour meeting set to begin at 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Pat Thomas Committee Room, 412 Knott Building, Tallahassee, FL 32399.
The bus is limited to 50 people and will depart from the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company grounds at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday with an expected return of approximately 9:30 p.m. There is no cost for individuals wishing to make the trip to support the fight against the decoupling bill.
To reserve a spot on the bus, contact Meg Miranda by noon Monday at meg@obssales.com or call 352 237-2154.
