The Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering has come under fire from many of the state's legislators for not enforcing many of the rules it put into place itself regarding several of the state's racetracks.
The Miami Herald reports that while many of the tracks found to be in violation are greyhound tracks, both Pompano Park – a harness track – and Gulfstream Park have also been cited in an investigation for not following procedures.
