This bill formally designates Delaware Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association Inc. (DTHA) as the sole representative for horse owners and trainers negotiating agreements to conduct live Thoroughbred horse racing. Presently, Delaware Park is the only authorized video lottery agent that also conducts Thoroughbred horse racing meets. DTHA has been incorporated since 1990 and has been bargaining with Delaware Park on behalf of Thoroughbred horse owners and trainers for approximately 18 years. This bill has no application to Arabian horses or the Eastern Arabian Racing Alliance also racing at Delaware Park.
