GAMBLING > Horse races, messenger betting prohibited -- Exception.
Short Summary
This legal document governs the prohibition of wagering on horse races, unless certain exceptions apply. Any person who wagers money or anything of value on a horse race or engages in the occupation of receiving, making, transmitting or negotiating wagers on horse races is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor, except in the case of wagers made within the enclosure of a licensed race track during an authorized race meeting or during regular meetings in which running, trotting or pacing races are being conducted by associations regularly organized for that purpose. The state does not need to prove that the horse race upon which the wager was placed was actually run; proof that the wager was made upon what purported to be or what was advertised, reported or understood to be a horse race is sufficient to establish a prima facie case for the state.
