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.
