The Maryland Racing Commission, established by Chapter 273, Acts
of 1920 and reorganized by Chapter 831, Acts of 1959, is composed of
five members appointed by the Governor with the advice of the
Secretary of Licensing and Regulation for five-year staggered terms.
One member of the Commission must be of the minority party, and
the Governor designates the chairman with the advice of the Secretary
of Licensing and Regulation. The Commission licenses all persons,
associations, or corporations which hold any racing meeting within
the State where horseracing is permitted for any stake, purse, or
reward. The Commission makes any regulations necessary to gov-
ern the races. It may also regulate the size of the purse, the price of
admission, or the charge made for any article or service sola at the
meets. All persons engaged in racing in Maryland under assumed
names must register with the Commission and receive its permission
for the use of such name. The Commission has the power to revoke or
suspend the license of any person or corporation, engaged in racing
within the State, that violates the racing laws or the rules of the
Commission (Code 1957, 1965 Repl. Vol., Art. 78B).
Maryland-Bred Race Fund Advisory Committee
Chairman: Carlo A. Jackson
Stuart S. Janney, Jr. and Fendall M. Clagett, Maryland Horse
Breeders' Association; Alvin A. Karwacki, the mile track as-
sociations; John M. Heil, the half-mile track associations.
The Maryland-Bred Race Fund Advisory Committee, created by
Chapter 137, Acts of 1962, consists of five members appointed by the
Maryland Racing Commission with the approval of the Secretary of
Licensing and Regulation. Of the five members, two represent the
Maryland Horse Breeders' Association; one the mile track associa-
tions; one the half-mile track associations; and one member of the
Commission.
The Committee administers the Maryland-Bred Race Program and
the Maryland-Bred Race Fund. This Fund was established by having
each thoroughbred track licensee allocate .50% of the mutual pool of
all races conducted by it during the year. The Fund is then used as a
purse for races involving Maryland-bred horses (Code 1957, 1965
Repl. Vol., Art. 78B, sec. 16).
