To simplify the licensing process for racing participants, who have to deal with a myriad of regulations and forms that vary from state to state.

  3.

To make it easier for tracks in this state to attract a large field of top participants for special events and stakes races.

 4.

To help racing grow by removing one hassle for new owners, thus encouraging them to join and stay in the game.

 5 .

  6.

To demonstrate this commission's commitment to vision and innovation in the regulation of racing.

  7.

  9.

To participate in and improve the value of a program that the industry has sought for decades.
