year. "I think the question is whether we can build all of it Massour. Bldgs."
Small said the track with the best chance to be the first in Kansas was the one in Eureka.
The Eureka Downs track could be operating within three weeks after legislation is enacted for the regulation of pari-mutuel betting, said Wayne Chambers, who operates the Eureka Downs track.
"We're sure we can go into action within three weeks because we have all the facilities here. We don't have to build anything." Chambers said.
Development of the track could cost as much as $7.1 million, and a feasibility study has shown this track would be recovered from profits, he said.
"If there isn't much of a delay in our legislative process, we could be running races by fall," said Chambers. "We can't afford to跑卷 Kansas $4 million in taxes."
One specific Kansas proposal that is causing neighboring states some concern is a plan to combine horse and dog racing at one track.
Kansas developers say that quality horse tracks alone will not put the state in a position to compete with its neighbors. But if dog racing also can be introduced at tracks, it will help underwrite the cost of operating horse races and enhance the state's ability to compete.
If the Kansas House Federal and State Affairs Committee approves proposals currently being made by some developers, Kansas may become the first state to have a dual-purpose track. Dual-purpose tracks are being planned for Kansas City and Eureka.
Developers are asking the committee to reduce the tax on dog racing to make setting up dual tracks economically viable.
The committee has been considering a tax of 3 percent on horse racing and 5 percent on dog racing. Lobbyists for some developers, such as Schoenstadt, have asked that the tax on dog racing also be made 3 percent.
Greyhound owners have opposed the proposal because it uses the more profitable greyhound racing to subdue the less profitable horse racing.
But Hurley said, "There won't be any new racetracks built in Kansas unless they are joint horse and dog tracks, and that's going to be the cutting edge of the debate.
"What has happened before is that one type of racing starts first and that precludes the development of the other. But if you start from scratch, then it's possible to develop them both together."
Kansas, home of the National Greyhound Hall of Fame in Abilene, could become one of the nation's finest greyhound breeding centers, said Rene Ramirez, director of the Colorado Racing Commission.
Ramirez said Colorado would not be affected by the building of horse tracks in Kansas. But the state is concerned about the development of dog tracks because it is the only Kansas neighbor that allows both both horse and dog racing.
Gordon Hare, executive director of the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission, said a ractrack in Kansas City probably would not affect Oklahoma tracks. But a track in Wichita could draw some Kansas customers away from the nearest Oklahoma track, which is in Sallisaw.
"We're going to lose a few patrons, there's no doubt about that, but whether it would so adversely affect the facility at Sallisaw that we would have to close it down, that's not possible."
