Hawthorne Race Course, Inc. v. Illinois Racing Board

National Jockey Club was initially eligible to receive a distribution from Horse Racing Equity Trust Fund because it held majority operating control of a live racing facility in 2002, but it became ineligible in 2010, as it was not an organization licensee in 2010, the current year of distribution. Thus, Illinois Racing Board properly found that Racing Act required that Jockey Club's proportion of aggregate handle generated from its live races in 2004 and 2005 be redistributed, pro rata, among the other entities eligible to receive distributions.(GARCIA and R.E. GORDON, concurring.)
