Now a reversal..

Texas tracks directed to shut down Tuesday

Tracks in Texas received a letter from the Texas Racing Commission's general counsel after hours Monday informing them to cease operations at 12:01 a.m., on Tuesday, according to Jan Haynes, president of the Texas Thoroughbred Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association.

A representative from Sam Houston confirmed receipt of the letter and said there would be no simulcasting Tuesday at Sam Houston. The track is not currently racing live, but Thoroughbreds are in action at Retama Park.

The directive to cease operations is one that can be rescinded if budgeting is finalized prior to midnight, according to a representative of the commission.
