(a) As used in this section, "live racing day"
means a day on which at least eight (8) live horse races are conducted.
(b) Upon request by a permit holder from time to time, the
commission may authorize the permit holder to conduct pari-mutuel
wagering at the permit holder's racetrack on televised simulcasts of
horse races from other racetracks in Indiana or in other states or
countries where horse racing and wagering are permitted by law. In
addition, the commission may authorize the permit holder to conduct
pari-mutuel wagering at the permit holder's racetrack on races from
racetracks that have entered into a simulcasting contract with the
permit holder even if the races are conducted during a time when the
permit holder's racetrack is not open. The commission may adopt rules
regarding simulcasting. A permit holder that conducts at least one
hundred twenty (120) live racing days annually may request an
unlimited number of days of simulcasting per year. However, the
requirement for one hundred twenty (120) live racing days does not
apply if the commission determines that the permit holder is prevented
from conducting live horse racing as a result of a natural disaster or
other event over which the permit holder has no control. In addition, if
the initial racing meeting conducted by a permit holder commences at
such a time as to make it impractical to conduct one hundred twenty
(120) live racing days during the permit holder's first year of
operations, the commission may authorize the permit holder to conduct
simulcast wagering during the first year of operations with fewer than
one hundred twenty (120) live racing days. A permit holder that
conducts fewer than one hundred twenty (120) live racing days
annually may request permission to conduct simulcasting only during
the hours on a racing day when racing is being conducted at the permit
holder's racetrack. The televised simulcasts must comply with the
Interstate Horse Racing Act of 1978 (15 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.).
(c) A permit holder that conducts simulcasts on a day that is not a
live racing day may not simulcast races conducted in other states unless
the permit holder also simulcasts all available races conducted in
Indiana on that day.
