The law creating the commission was passed at the Legislative Ses-
sion of 1920 and appears as Chapter 273. Under this law only such
persons, associations or corporations may hold or conduct any meeting
within the State of Maryland whereat horse racing shall be permitted
for any stake, purse or reward, as are licensed by the Commission.

The Racing Commission has full power to prescribe rules, regula-
tions and conditions under which all horse races are conducted; and
may make rules restricting and regulating betting on all such races;
fix and regulate the rate of charge by the licensee for an admission,
the performance of any service, or for the sale of any article on the
premises; and also may regulate the size of the purse, stake or reward
offered for the conduct of such races, and the payment of money for
salaries, fees and compensation by the licensee.

In addition to licensing racing generally for a prescribed period,
bona fide County Fairs or Agricultural Exhibits are licensed by the
Racing Commission to conduct racing.

The decision of the Commission in the suspension or revocation
of licenses are matters in the discretion of the Commission. The
action of the Commission in suspending or revoking any license is
final, except, however, the propriety of such action is subject to
review by the courts on questions of law only.
