Our harness racing bill overwhelmingly passed the Illinois Senate with bipartisan support last night and is still active. The bill is now with the House and only needs to be voted on by that chamber. Our focus will now turn to the January legislative session where we will work to pass the bill through the House. Thank you to everyone who has called their legislators and been part of our effort to save Illinois harness racing.
