PROPOSED REGULATORY AMENDMENTS - NEW JERSEY RACING COMMISSION

TRENTON, NJ  -- October 16, 2024 -- The New Jersey Racing Commission (NJRC) is proposing two new amendments relating to the Pick (N) rules.
One proposal would amend N.J.A.C. 13:70-29.52, the rule that governs the Pick (N) for thoroughbred racing, by allowing racetracks to elect to pay out an entire Pick (N) pool, including the carry-over, on a selected day, only upon written approval from the NJRC or upon the closing performance of the meet. 
A second proposal would similarly amend N.J.A.C. 13:71-27.56, the Pick (N) rule for harness racing. 
The proposed amendments will allow New Jersey to remain competitive with out-of-state racetracks and to maximize handle and profits.
The proposals, and information on how to submit a comment by December 6, 2024, can be viewed at: https://www.njoag.gov/about/divisions-and-offices/nj-racing-commission-home/rules-and-regulations/
