| The
New Jersey Racing Commission has jurisdiction
over New Jersey's thoroughbred and standardbred
permit holders and the authority to regulate racing
at the state's four racetracks. The Commission
also has jurisdiction over the simulcasting of
horse racing activities at these racetracks and
New Jersey 's casinos and beginning in 2004 will
also be responsible for regulating all activities
associated with the recently enacted Off-track
and Account Wagering Act. Activities included
in the regulation of racing activities are the
oversight of pari-mutuel wagering, supervising
pari-mutuel operations at all the tracks and granting
permits for the conduct of running the thoroughbred
and standardbred race meetings in the state where
pari-mutuel wagering is allowed. |
|
| The
Commission allots annual race dates to existing
permit holders. It licenses, fingerprints, photographs,
and screens all personnel working for or connected
with track operations, including management, horsemen,
owners and prospective stockholders, to ensure
that no one connected with racing is unsuitable
as to character and integrity. It oversees the
actual conduct of races, supervises the extraction
of fluid and blood specimens from horses for chemical
analysis and conducts initial hearings on appeals
resulting from disciplinary actions that may lead
to judicial proceedings at the appellate level.
The Commission assigned significant resources
to oversee casino simulcasting of racing events. |
