Decoupling Bill Passes Florida House Subcommittee

“Thoroughbred racing isn’t just a sport in Florida—it’s a way of life, deeply embedded in our state’s history and agricultural heritage. The misguided effort to decouple racing in favor of slot machine and cardroom casinos threatens the heart of our state’s $3.24 billion, and growing, Thoroughbred industry. HB 105 undermines a legacy built by multi-generational farms, expert trainers, passionate owners and the small businesses that keep our communities thriving.

“The Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association stands in firm opposition to this bill, and we greatly appreciate the Tampa Bay Downs Horsemen and Belmont-winning trainer Jena Antonucci for standing with us in today’s committee hearing. We urge lawmakers to oppose this bill and protect the jobs, families, and traditions that make Florida a leader in the equine world.”

BY BROCK SHERIDAN Florida House Bill 105, a bill that removes the requirement for Thoroughbred permitholders in the state to conduct live racing, passed through the Industries and Professional Activities Subcommittee Wednesday in the Florida House of Representatives. In a vote of 12 to 4 in favor, t...
