he unsettled state of Illinois figures Tto be aired yet again Jan. 26 when the Illinois Racing Board considers several proposals endorsed by the state's racetracks but opposed by the Illinois Horsemen's Association. Declining pari-mutuel handle, state budget woes, racetrack closures, and legislative gridlock on the slot machines issue have created an untenable situation for horse racing and breeding, Thoroughbred and Standardbred. As of early 2016 only three tracks remain in operation: Arlington and Hawthorne in the Chicago area and Fairmount Park near St. Louis. The tracks want the IRB to proceed with a rule change allowing their racing offices to have discre- tion over which races are carded so as to increase wagering by using races with fuller fields; the Illinois THA claims the change would create chaos and dis- courage shipping horses to the state. Other IRB agenda matters are a new Arlington stall application the Illinois THA said would institute a "facility fee," and regular approval of "recapture"—a mid-1990s regulation allowing tracks to compensate for revenue losses by taking a percentage from purse accounts money.

The Florida-based company had until this year offered a bone warranty instead, but it announced in August the institution of a repository at all its sales, beginning with the January Winter mixed sale. Repositories are common at other sales complex- es, and director of sales Tod Wojciechowski said OBS followed suit after listening to its customers. "A number of our consignors are used to a repos- itory situation at other places, so it's not a foreign ob- ject to them. The vast majority are using it," he said.
