Supreme Court reverses Lincoln judge's decision on horse race funds lawsuit

The Nebraska Supreme Court has reversed a Lincoln judge's ruling that the state's Racing Commission exceeded its authority in 2018 by ordering tracks in Lincoln and Omaha to turn over funds they collect to the Nebraska Thoroughbred Breeders Association. Friday's decision was a reprieve to tracks in Grand Island and Columbus, which have shared in the pooled funds for nearly two decades, as more of the funds came from wagering on simulcasts rather than live racing in the state.
