LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – A Nebraska legislative panel is scheduled to examine simulcast horse racing. The Legislature’s General Affairs Committee will meet Friday to study the vitality, profits, earnings distribution and participation of the simulcasts since they were introduced in 1987. The panel wants to see if simulcast horse racing has benefited the state and the industry in general, why it was originally introduced, whether the number of live races has increased or decreased and other issues. The meeting will take place at the Capitol.
