One of the applicants for a New Mexico racing license has proposed a moving grandstand
While its Dec. 28 agenda included consideration of awarding the state's sixth racing license, the New Mexico Racing Commission stopped short of that action Friday.
The Santa Fe New Mexican, and other news outlets, report that the NMRC voted only to issue a license for a new track but postponed any decision as to which applicant should receive it.
The paper reported that the NMRC has postponed the decision until a related court petition is resolved. It reports that a state district court judge in Albuquerque is considering blocking the commission from issuing the license until it has a second study conducted on the feasibility of a new racino.
