Gulfstream Park Racing Association, Inc. v. Tampa Bay Downs, Inc.
no. 05-251
Hillsborough County

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has asked the Florida Supreme Court whether state law bans a thoroughbred racetrack in Florida from obtaining exclusive rights to disseminate the broadcast simulcast signal from an out-of-state track to other tracks and jai-alai frontons in Florida. An answer is needed to settle the federal lawsuit between Gulfstream Park Racing Association and Tampa Bay Downs.
