The Louisiana Racing Commission is scheduled to address two notable items during its Oct. 24 meeting, and following each presentation there will be a period for public comment, according to an agenda issued Monday. 

The first item concerns a request from the Louisiana Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association. The organization is asking the commission to reconsider its August decision to deny the transfer of some purse funds from Delta Downs to the Evangeline Downs meet for Thoroughbreds that opens next April. Both tracks are owned by Boyd Gaming. The commission denied an initial request to move $3.2 million in purse funds. 

The second item concerns moving the Quarter Horse meet at Fair Grounds from the summer to spring for 2019. Fair Grounds has requested a 10 date stand from March 26-April 8, according to the agenda. For more background: https://www.drf.com/news/race-dates-amended-fair-grounds-2018-2019-meet
