According to the department
the Caliente book invited bets
on future races at specified odds
on a pay-or-play basis. The

lost his money if his horse did
not win, but that the operators

plans to make a test case of the
order. The management said
it would contend that the use

has been permitted by a Federal
Court decision.

ing statement:
The Callente track has been
conducting future books as a
legal operation for nearly 20
years. During this time the
question of using the mails for
future-book business has been
raised on several occasions. The
practice was recognized as legal
on the basis of a Federal Court
judges decision which ruled the
future book a game of skill and
not a lottery.
If it now is proven that the
use of the mails is a violation
OF the United States postal regu-
lations, we, of course, will abide
by that decision. The future
books under those circumstances
would be continued at the track
