(2) INCORPORATED WITH THE INFORMATION ON WAGERING AT
THE IN-STATE SENDING TRACK.

(F) THE SIMULCAST SIGNAL SHALL BE ENCODED AND THE IN-STATE
RECEIVING NORMALLY APPLICABLE TO RACING CONDUCTED AT THE IN-STATE
SENDING TRACK. RECEIVING TRACK MAY NOT SEND THIS SIGNAL ANYWHERE
BEYOND THE PREMISES UPON WHICH WAGERING IS PERMITTED.

AS TO WHETHER THE WITHHOLDING OF APPROVAL IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE

RACING INDUSTRY. IF THE COMMISSION DETERMINES THAT THE

WITHHOLDING OF APPROVAL IS DETRIMENTAL, THE COMMISSION MAY DIRECT

THE HORSEMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS TO APPROVE THE INTRASTATE

SIMULCASTING AGREEMENT. THE DETERMINATION OF THE COMMISSION TO

WITHHOLD APPROVAL MAY BE APPEALED TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ANY
COUNTY IN WHICH AN AFFECTED RACETRACK IS LOCATED.

pari-mutuel wagering at both tracks, and the effect on admissions
and amusement tax revenues from racetrack admissions.
