Bill Summary
Recognizing the Indiana horse racing industry. A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION recognizing the Indiana horse racing industry.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution recognizes the significant impact of the horse racing industry on the State of Indiana. It highlights the long history of various forms of horse racing in Indiana, including Standardbred racing (where drivers sit in carts), Thoroughbred racing (the stereotypical track racing), and Quarter horse racing (sprinting in a straight line). The resolution also acknowledges the state's role in breeding horses for racing, the establishment of official racetracks, and the industry's substantial economic contribution, estimated at $2 billion annually and supporting over 10,000 jobs, with more than 12,000 horses involved in racing and breeding programs statewide. The resolution aims to acknowledge the growth of this historical activity and the opportunities it provides.
