During the debate Horse Development Fund. The fund offsets the lost revenue on the legislation, horse breeders and owners expressed and negative impact of slots on horse wagering, providing concern about the impact it would have on horse wagering money for purses and breeders incentives. in Pennsylvania, which had traditionally funded purses and breeders incentives. Our concerns were well founded: national But despite that legislative commitment that the funds would studies show that when slot machines are introduced at go solely to the racing and breeding industry, the legislature racetracks, pari-mutuel wagering at racetracks is reduced by has repeatedly raided the fund and used portions of it to fund up to 39 percent. other budgetary needs unrelated to the racing industry.

DeBunda, Esquire Since the introduction of slot machines in our state, money allocated to the horse racing industry through Act 71 has been a focal point in Harrisburg. Our opposition in the Pennsylvania state legislature adamantly tries to push our backs against the wall, but PTHA Executive Director Mike Ballezzi and I, along with our fellow lobbyists and the Pennsylvania Equine Coalition, refuse to allow them to take what is rightfully ours. Each and every year, we must push for our money to stay in the Race Horse Development Fund. Four out of the past five years, nearly $50 million was taken each year to help balance the state’s budget. Through a determined effort by the PA Equine Coalition, we succeeded in reducing that amount for the new fiscal year to $17.6 million. While there will be approximately $177,000 per week removed from purses here at Parx, I want to stress a few important points. This will not affect our healthcare and pension plans. Also, after the initial 22 weeks in which funds will be removed by the state, both purses and breeders awards will return to their original amounts. In addition, we are glad that new eyes will be focused on those diverted funds in the future, thanks to the recent report by Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale. We have been saying all along that funds were being misused, and this report only solidifies the evidence. As summer moves towards fall, we are preparing for an exciting Fall Festival here at the PTHA, kicking off on Saturday, August 23rd with our sixth annual Owners Appreciation Day. Three weeks later, we will present the 2014 Man of the Year Award along with the $250,000 PTHA President’s Cup. That same day, we will induct nine new members into the Parx Racing Hall of Fame, including one of my own horses, Roamin Rachel. I would like to congratulate the other new inductees, especially my fellow PTHA Board members: Mike Ballezzi, Steve Appel, and Phil Aristone. And of course, on Saturday, September 20th, we will crown two three-year-olds in the winner’s circle following our signature events of the year: the $1,000,000 Cotillion H. (G1) and Pennsylvania Derby (G2). We hope to see you here! Did You Know? Text message alerts from the Racing Office are back! To enroll, text “parxracing” to 95577 from your cell phone.

Fortunately, we have made great strides level as last year - $17.6 million. While any diversion of in educating legislators about the importance of the Race funding is unfortunate, keeping the diversion to the same Horse Development Fund as a major source of Pennsylvania amount as last year was a signicant accomplishment given jobs, as an economic driver of Pennsylvania’s equine and the budget environment which required the legislature to agriculture industries, and as a major force in farmland and make cuts to a wide range of programs. open space preservation. This $17.6 million is expected to be used to help fund In 2010, the legislature diverted $68.8 million from the the Pennsylvania Farm Show, Pennsylvania Fairs, the Race Horse Development Fund to the state “General Fund” Animal Health Commission, and the Pennsylvania to help balance the state budget.
