The deadline for the release of a state-sanctioned report examining the long-term options for Maryland’s racing industry has been extended until Jan. 5, according to officials with knowledge of the decision.
The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the extension has not yet been announced, said that the deadline was extended to give the state agency, the Maryland Thoroughbred Racetrack Operating Authority, more time to consider its work. By legislation, the MTROA was supposed to deliver its report to the legislature by Dec. 1.
