Tell Tallahassee to oppose HB 105: Dividing Gulfstream Games from racing licenses would devastate $ 3.24 billion in purebred industry industry

Horsemen, horse women and all who love horse racing in Florida and then:

HB 105, if passed, can devastate the purebred Florida and related agrobite competition industry, allowing Gulfstream Park to separate its games license from the requirement for conducting live horse racing. Florida purebred racing and breeding industries represent $ 3.24 billion a year in economic development, with $ 87,600 providing 33,500 jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in horses exports. Understanding can be crippled by Okala and Marion County, the capital of The World® horses and the home of some of the world’s best 2-year-olds in training and hit the Broward County Tourism.

Now is the time to act! This question has distant consequences outside Florida. We need you to sign this petition, share it with customers, staff, family and friends, and publish the relationship on social media to send a strong message to Talahassi that tens of thousands of jobs, huge agro-business and important Florida tourism component is at risk of HB 105.
