The Commission highly commends its officials and office staff and all ito employees for their loyalty to the Commission and for the efficient and conscientious manner in which their services were performed.

During the past fiscal year the Commisaion held eight official meetings. These meetings were held with reference to applications for racing dates, administrative matters, licensing of track. officials, review of steward rulings and decisions, and to supervise the con· duct of h'orse and dog race meetings and jai.alai exhibitions pur· suoot to ito rulea and State law. The meetings were held at the following designated cities and times:

Miami-Iuly 23, 24, 1943. Jacksonvill~Augnst 20, 1943. Miami-December 14, 1943. Miami-January 8, 1944-Miami-February 3, 4, 5, 1944-Miami-February 12, 1944. Miami-March 2, 3, 4, 1944-Miami-April 7, 1944-

The Commission has been vigilant in detecting and preventing the stimulation of horses and dogs. The work of ito Chief Veteri· narian, Dr. E. D. Clawson, and ito Chief Chemis~ Dr. Walter Volke, has been highly effective and commendable.

The following i! a summary 'of the test. made and result. thereof during the season 1943·1944:

The Florida Stal<> Racing Commission expreaaea ita apprecia. tion of the cooperation it has received from racing UIOCiatioDl during the year, and for their dompliance with re~lationa of governmental agencies in the matter of transportation and saving of essential war materials.

The Commiuion has maintained a careful check of each of the race track associations to see that they have complied with the provision of the law which requires that 85% of all person .. except racing 'official a, employed at the race tracD, shan be citizens and r .. idenls of the State of Florida. Each of said associationa h .. adhered strictly to the law in employing qualified Florida citizena and residents during their race meeting.

Members of the press have been very fair and cooperative in reporting the activities of racing in Florida and this attitude and assistance haa contributed greatly to the success of racing during the past season.

The total attendance and the total amount wagered at the tracks and at the Fronton during the past season were as follows:

Horae tracks _ ____ _ Dog tracks _____ _ ]ai·alai Fronton _ __ _

Attendance 720,108

1,539,232 199,593

Amount Wagered $56,335.063.00

50,614,142.00 2,612,764.00

The total revenue from the tax on attendance and pari-mutuel wagering during the paat aeaeon w .. the greal<oat in the history of racing in Florida. It amounl<od to $6,794,336.79, in contraat to the total revenue of $4,360,665.68 in the previous high aeaaon, 1941· 1942. That year is taken for comparison because it was the first season in which the 5% tax on pari.mutuel pools conducted at hone tracks in Florida was imposed and becauae the 1942·1943 season does 0 '01 afford a fair compariaon, racing in that season having been greatly curtailed on account of travel reatrictions. How· ever. the total attendance at the hone and dog tracks and at the ]ai·A1ai Fronton during the .... OD just closed was I ... than during the 1941·1942 ..... OD. In that respect racing is ,till adversely affecl<od by war conditions. The increased revenue reIIulted from heavier wagering.

In the foli'owing tabl .. will he found more detailed statemenls of attendance and amounts wagered, and revenue from the tax thereon at the varioul horse and dog tracks and at the Jai·Alai Fronton.

Not only has the total revenue from racing in Florid. been higher during the last season than ever before, but the cost of operation has been lower than in any previous year. Total expen· ditures for all State activities in connection with racing amounted to only 2.65% of the total amount of revenue collected. The average cost of operation for the three se&SOllA during this ad· ministration, including the season 1942.1943. when the cost was proportionately high on account of curtailed operation and reduced revenue, is 4..19% of the average amount of total revenue for said years. This compares very favorably with the previous all-time average cost of operation of 10.96%.

IRacing in Florida is primarily an attraction for out·oI·state visitors.. who contribute most of the revenue. No other source of taxation in Florida results in 8uch substantial revenue to the State with 80 little imposition on its 'own citizens. This is an im· portant source of revenue to the people oC every community in the State, and racing affords an attraction to many tourists who find in it the type oC entertainment they want. For these reasons racing should he fostered in every way legitimately practicahle.

The Commission has heen mindful of the recreational advan­tages oC racing in the war program, and has exerted its best efforts to 50 conduct racing as to CODt~ute to the entertainment and morale 'of our armed forces.

The Commission has heen diligent in its supervision of racing. It has striven to increase the revenue from racing and at the same time promote public confidence in the sport. The Commission has been fully aware of the fact that while the amount of revenue from racing necessarily fluctuates with the amount 'of money wagered at the tracks, there is every indication that the continued im· provement in the quality of racing contributes directly to increaaed. revenue. 50 the Commission has been vigilant in detecting and eradicating bookmaking and other deleterious practicetl, and baa fully and carefully exercised its supervisory jurisdiction in all other r .. pects in the conduct ·of racing. It i. the helief of the Com· misaion that bookmaking has been greatly curtailed throuab its efforts, and that due to its surveillance the infraction of rules of racing h .. been almost eliminated. The Commission points with pride to its efficient record of clean and econ'omical administration of racing. Here again the Commission wants to express its appre­ciation to the racing associations for their cooperation in the conduct of racing 'on a higb plane.

While the Commi .. ion haa strictly and rigidly enforced tho statutes and rules pertaining to racing it baa heen fair in its dealinga with all interested persons. Appeals and hearings have been freely granted to those charged with violations of the raelng Jaws and rules, and no penalty has been imposed or sustained without due consideration 'of all the facts presented or ascertained.
