Thoroughbred Horsemen's Racing Interests) to represent the interests of
Thoroughbred Horsemen and Thoroughbred Horsemen's Racing Interests,

the Association will not utilize nor counsel or encourage Thoroughbred Horsemen
to strike, embargo, boycott or employ similar tactics in dealing with SHRP on

telephone and other office expenses necessary for the maintenance of such office

respect to conduct and appearance on the Racetrack premises provided such rules
are reasonable and customary within the horse racing industry.

Horsemen and their employees when at the barns, dorms and on other premises of
the Racetrack to properly care for the premises and the improvements thereon, to

the removal of manure and trash and the placement of same in assigned
containers, and to comply with the Rules, including Commission or Texas
Department of Public Safety rules with respect to drug and alcohol use while on
the premises of the Racetrack.

         3.6     The Association shall be entitled to review SHRP's form of
stall application ("Stall Application") in advance of the next Thoroughbred Race
Meeting following the Effective Date of this Agreement (and prior to each
subsequent Thoroughbred Race Meeting) and, if approved by the Association, will
act consistent with the terms thereof, subject to Section 6.1 and 6.2 hereof,
and will encourage all Thoroughbred Owners and Trainers assigned stalls at SHRP
to honor and abide by the terms of such Stall Application.

         3.7     The Association hereby consents to SHRP televising,
broadcasting, preserving on film, replaying or rebroadcasting Thoroughbred
Racing at the Racetrack during the term of this Agreement and using the images
of Association members, employees and staff, provided that such televising,
broadcasting, preserving on film, replaying or rebroadcasting is for promotional
purposes only and is not for any use involving any form of gaming or wagering.
The consent of the Association herein shall not be deemed an agreement for any
Simulcasting or Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting. SHRP will disclose to the
Association upon request any direct revenue SHRP receives from any broadcast,
rights or distribution fees generated from live or taped Thoroughbred Racing at
the Racetrack during the term of this Agreement.

         3.8     The Association agrees that it will encourage Thoroughbred
Horsemen and Backstretch Personnel to pay any financial obligations owed to
SHRP, including, but not limited to, NSF checks. The Association agrees that it

Horsemen and Backstretch Personnel for checks returned to SHRP for insufficient
funds.

         SECTION 4.        ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF PURSE MONIES.

amount not less than seven percent (7%) of the live regular wagering pool or

three wagering pool from all Thoroughbred Racing at the Racetrack during the
term of this Agreement, as provided in Section 6.08(b)(1) of the Act and the
Rules. The amount of the daily handle at any live Thoroughbred Race Meeting at
the Racetrack to be allocated to purses may be increased by the written
agreement of the parties hereto. The Purse-Allocated Monies generated at the
Racetrack from Simulcasting and Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting during the
term of this Agreement shall be distributed as set forth in Sections 4, 5, 7 and
12 of this Agreement, subject to Section 6.08(b)(2) of the Act and Section

other applicable provisions of the Act and Rules.

         4.2     All Purse-Allocated Monies allocated to the Purse Account
arising from either live race wagering, Simulcast and Cross-Species Greyhound
Simulcast wagering, as applicable, SHRP's off-track wagering facilities, if any,
account wagering, if any, and Additional Forms of Gaming conducted at the
Racetrack, if any, are hereby designated as trust funds held in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of Thoroughbred Owners who have earned or may earn
purses from Thoroughbred Racing at the Racetrack or who may otherwise become
entitled to receive purses under this Agreement, any amendment thereto or by
operation of law. SHRP is hereby deemed to be the custodial trustee of the
Purse Account, subject to the terms of the Custodial Agreement, the Act, the
provisions of Section 309.297(a) of the Rules and this Agreement. All interest
earned on such account, less reasonable and customary bank and other service
charges, shall be paid monthly to the Partnership (or the Officially-Recognized
Horsemen's Organization for the exclusive benefit of Thoroughbred Horsemen, as
applicable) or as provided in the Custodial Agreement.

         4.3     All Purse-Allocated Monies generated during each week of
Thoroughbred Racing, Simulcasting and Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting at
the Racetrack shall be segregated and deposited to the Purse Account not later
than three business days after the end of the week in which the Purse-Allocated
Monies are generated. Upon request of the Association, SHRP shall provide weekly
deposit records verifying appropriate transfers and deposits pertaining to the
Purse Account and/or Horsemen's Accounts. At all times and prior to deposit,
they are deemed to be trust funds, legal title to which is vested in the
Partnership (or the Officially-Recognized Horsemen's Organization for the
exclusive benefit of Thoroughbred Horsemen, as applicable) to be disbursed as
provided in the Act and Section 4.5 below. The Purse Account shall be
established under the taxpayer identification number of the Association or the
Partnership as directed by the Association. Upon the execution of this
Agreement, the parties hereto shall also execute the Thoroughbred Owners' Purse
Account Custodial Agreement (the "Custodial Agreement"), a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof for all purposes. The
daily operation and management of the Purse Account shall be subject to the
Custodial Agreement between SHRP and the Partnership (or the
Officially-Recognized Horsemen's Organization for the exclusive benefit of
Thoroughbred Horsemen, as applicable). The Custodial Agreement may be amended
and revised from time to time as deemed necessary by the parties.

         4.4     The Association (or the Officially-Recognized Horsemen's
Organization for the exclusive benefit of Thoroughbred Horsemen, as applicable)
agrees not to support the request of any other horse racing association to
receive an interstate simulcast signal within an area determined by SHRP and the
Association to cause detriment with respect to revenues which are allocable to
purses at SHRP for Owners of Thoroughbred Horses.

         4.5     Periodic disbursements may be made from Purse-Allocated Monies
in the Purse Account only pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Act and the
Rules (i) to fund the Horsemen's Accounts for Purses Earned by Owners of
Thoroughbred Horses from live Thoroughbred Racing at the Racetrack, (ii) to fund
expenses of the Partnership (or the Officially-Recognized Horsemen's
Organization, as applicable), and (iii) for other disbursements as provided by
this Agreement or written amendments thereto, including National Thoroughbred
Racing Association ("NTRA") horsemen's dues. The Association and the Partnership
expressly authorize SHRP to make periodic disbursements from the Purse Account
for funding of the Association's annual membership dues to the NTRA. Any
fiduciary duty on the part of SHRP with respect to any Purse-Allocated Monies
shall be deemed fully discharged and satisfied upon transfer of such
Purse-Allocated Monies to the Horsemen's Accounts. The Partnership (or the
Officially Recognized Horsemen's Organization, for the exclusive benefit of
Thoroughbred Horsemen, as applicable) shall be fully responsible for the
maintenance and distribution of any Purse-Allocated Monies so transferred,
including without limitation employing and posting any required bond for a
Horsemen's Bookkeeper as contemplated by Section 309.297 and 313.61 of the
Rules.

         4.6     No part of any Purse-Allocated Monies shall be subject to any
surcharge, promotion fee, advertising fee, expense, charge or deduction pursuant
to Section 3.13 or 6.08(b)(4) of the Act by SHRP for any reason whatsoever
without the prior written consent of the Partnership (or the alternatively, such
successor entity recognized by the Commission as the sole representative
horsemen's organization for Thoroughbred Horsemen and Thoroughbred Horsemen's
Racing Interests); provided, however, that SHRP shall be authorized to make the
deductions from the Purse Account and the Purse-Allocated Monies specified in
the Agreement. Provided SHRP is not in material default of any of the provisions
of this Agreement, no Purse-Allocated Monies generated at SHRP shall be
transferred to any other Racetrack Association without the prior written consent
of SHRP, except as required by the Act, the Rules or the Commission.

         4.7     Each week during the term of this Agreement, SHRP will provide
complete written financial information to the Association regarding daily
pari-mutuel live, Simulcast and Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcast handle;
average daily live, Simulcast and Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcast handle to
date; stakes percentages; purse percentages; complete daily payout sheet; and
such other financial information reasonably requested by the Association
relating to SHRP and the Racetrack. In addition, SHRP, on a contemporaneous
basis, shall provide the Association with all financial reports pertaining to
the Purse Account provided to and/or required by the Commission, as well as any
notices or reports pertaining to the Purse Account from the Commission. In
addition, SHRP shall account at least once every 30-day period during the term
of this Agreement to the Association for all Purse-Allocated Monies as deposited
to the Purse Account and Horsemen's Accounts. The books of account for the
Purse-Allocated Monies and Purse Account shall be open to inspection by a
designated representative of the Association at reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice. Reasonable notice is defined as not less than 72 hours prior
to inspection, unless the 72-hour period falls on a weekend or holiday in which
case reasonable notice would include not less than two full business days, or
unless the Association receives notification from SHRP and/or the Commission
pursuant to Section 3.22 of the Act that the Commission reasonably believes that
SHRP has failed to maintain the proper account of money in the Purse Account in
which case an immediate right to inspection shall exist. The Association shall
have the right to audit such books and records upon reasonable notice at the
expense of the Association. In the event a discrepancy is discovered by audit,
which requires an increase in the amount to be deposited by SHRP to the Purse
Account of at least seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the amount on deposit
in the Purse Account prior to the audit, SHRP shall reimburse the Association
for the actual expense of such audit. It is further agreed that the maximum
liability for reimbursement of audit expense shall not be more than Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).

         4.8     If the Purse Allocation that has been deposited to the
Horsemen's Account for Purses Earned as provided for herein is insufficient to
fulfill SHRP's contractual commitment to the Thoroughbred Owners for Purses
Earned for live races conducted at the Racetrack, then in such event SHRP shall
timely deposit to the Horsemen's Accounts such funds as are necessary to fulfill
SHRP's contractual commitment to the Thoroughbred Owners (commonly called an
"Overpayment"). For purposes of this Agreement, "Overpayment" shall mean the
amount of money paid by SHRP to Thoroughbred Owners for Purses Earned in excess
of available funds representing the Purse Allocation which was deposited to the
Purse Account during and at the conclusion of a Thoroughbred Race Meeting at the
Racetrack; and "Underpayment" shall mean the amount of unpaid monies remaining
from available funds representing the Purse Allocation which was deposited in
the Purse Account during and at the conclusion of a Thoroughbred Race Meeting at
the Racetrack. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.9 herein, any funds owed
to SHRP as a result of an Overpayment shall be repaid to SHRP from the funds
representing the Purse Allocation until such Overpayment shall have been fully
paid.

         4.9     During the first 45 calendar days after the end of each
scheduled live Thoroughbred Race Meeting at the Racetrack (the "Initial
Period"), SHRP shall be entitled to recover any Overpayment from the Purse
Allocation without regard to the limitations described in this Section 4.9. As
used herein, the "Overpayment Date" shall mean the close of business on the 45th
calendar day after the end of each scheduled live Thoroughbred Race Meeting at
the Racetrack and the "Overpayment Amount" shall mean an amount equal to five
times the average daily purse distribution for such Thoroughbred Race Meeting.
To the extent the Overpayment on the Overpayment Date exceeds the Overpayment
Amount, such amount over the Overpayment Amount shall not be recovered by SHRP
from the Purse Allocation, except in the event the Overpayment is in excess of
the Overpayment Amount as a result of SHRP being unable to conduct live
Thoroughbred Racing at the Racetrack or an approved Simulcasting program at the
Racetrack as a result of "force majeure," in which case the Initial Period shall
be extended by the number of days affected by such condition of force majeure
and the Overpayment Date shall be the last day of such extended Initial Period.
Force majeure shall be defined as acts beyond the reasonable control of SHRP
that prevent the conduct of live Thoroughbred Racing at the Racetrack or an
approved Simulcasting program at the Racetrack, including, by way of
illustration and not in limitation, destruction of the premises, civil strife,
hurricane, strikes, or other such event. Force Majeure shall not include SHRP's
voluntary reduction or diminution in live Thoroughbred Racing dates at the
Racetrack for fiscal reasons. If the Overpayment is less than the Overpayment
Amount on the Overpayment Date, the amount of such Overpayment shall be repaid
to SHRP from the funds representing the Purse Allocation as such funds become
available until such Overpayment is fully paid.

         4.10    Should an Underpayment exist in the Purse Account in excess of
$300,000 at the end of any live Thoroughbred Race Meeting, the total
Underpayment amount shall be paid retroactively on a pro rata basis within 30
days after the close of such Thoroughbred Race Meeting to the Thoroughbred
Owners having Thoroughbred Horses that ran in the Meet that earned overnight
money finishing first through fifth, inclusively (60% for first-20% for
second-11% for third-6% for fourth-3% for fifth), unless SHRP and the
Association enter into a written agreement to carry forward to the next live
Thoroughbred Race Meeting at the Racetrack all or a portion of the Underpayment.
To the extent that the Underpayment is less than $300,000, such funds on deposit
in the Purse Account shall be carried forward to the next live Thoroughbred Race
Meeting at the Racetrack unless the Association and SHRP agree in writing to a
distribution of all or a portion of such Underpayment to Thoroughbred Owners as
provided herein.

         4.11    At least 60 days prior to the start of each live Thoroughbred
Race Meeting, SHRP shall estimate the projected handle and other sources of
Purse Allocation utilizing the best information available that is deemed by SHRP
and the Association to be reliable. Such information shall timely be provided to
the Association, and SHRP agrees to consult with the Association in determining
the daily allocation for distribution of Purse-Allocated Monies projected to be
available during the next scheduled live Thoroughbred Race Meeting.

         4.12    During the term of this Agreement, the parties agree that of
the total Purse Allocation to Thoroughbred Owners' purses less deductions for
expenses of the Partnership (or the Officially-Recognized Horsemen's
Organization, as applicable) for any Thoroughbred Race Meeting, not more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of such Purse-Allocated Monies shall be used for
payment in stakes races provided, however, that any race which is designated as
a stakes race with a purse allocation above the Racetrack's highest published
overnight race and is the minimum requirement for black type for Thoroughbred
Horses shall not be charged against the stakes allocation as set forth herein.
Not more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total stakes allocation funds shall
be used to supplement any single stakes race without the written consent of the
Association. It is understood between the parties that the amount allocated for
stakes races is subject to adjustment if SHRP decreases purses during a
Thoroughbred Race Meeting as specified in Section 4.15 herein.

         4.13    SHRP shall provide to the Association its projected stakes
program at last 30 days prior to the publication of the stakes condition book
for each live Thoroughbred Race Meeting during the term of this Agreement. The
allocation of funds for stakes races shall be consistent with the provisions of
Section 4.12 above. The stakes schedule shall represent the total amount of
guaranteed and/or added money to be distributed from the Purse-Allocated Monies
for stakes races and other prepayment races shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 309.298 of the Rules.

         4.14    In the case of a sponsored stakes race or other prepayment race
administered by a person or organization other than SHRP, the funds provided
from a source outside SHRP shall be deposited in the Purse Account prior to the
running of the race. In the event such race/races have either eliminations or
trials, the total amount due from sources other than SHRP shall be deposited
prior to the running of any eliminations or trials in connection with the race
event. In the event sponsor money is not deposited prior to the running of the
race, SHRP shall notify the Association. SHRP shall assume no liability with
respect to sponsorship-contributed purse funds. It is further agreed that all
money generated from nomination and entry fees from races sponsored and
conducted by SHRP with guaranteed purses will be used first to cover the
guaranteed purse amount. In the event the fees collected are insufficient to
meet the guaranteed purse requirement, the balance may be deducted from the
funds allocated to stakes races for that Thoroughbred Racing Meet. However, if
the funds collected are in excess of the amount required to meet the purse
requirement, the balance shall be credited to the Purse Account.

         4.15    In the event the amount generated for the Purse Account is
significantly higher or lower than amounts projected, SHRP may adjust the purse
schedule in an attempt to bring the amount generated for purses in line with the
amount of purses paid to Thoroughbred Owners. In the event a decrease in purses
is necessary, SHRP shall adjust overnight purses on a pro rata basis of the
original purse distribution schedule, unless otherwise agreed by the
Association, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld. SHRP agrees
that it will reduce the annual allocation for stakes races if necessary to meet
the proportionate allocation of overnight purses to stakes purses as set forth
in Section 4.12 herein. Prior to implementing a purse decrease, SHRP shall meet
with an authorized representative of the Association to discuss the reasons for
such decrease and the projected amount of the decrease. SHRP shall deliver to
the Association such documents as may be reasonably requested to justify the
necessity of such purse decrease.

         4.16    SHRP shall make available Purses Earned as required by the Act
and Rules.

         SECTION 5.        HORSEMEN'S BOOKKEEPER.

         The Partnership (or the Officially Recognized Horsemen's Organization
for the exclusive benefit of Thoroughbred Horsemen, as applicable) has organized
(or will organize) a Texas non-profit corporation which shall maintain separate
accounts known as the Horsemen's Accounts, subject to and in accordance with
Sections 309.297 and 313.61 of the Rules, this Agreement and any other
agreements between the parties relating to the management of the Horsemen's
Accounts (to the extent not inconsistent with the Rules).

         SECTION 6.        STALL APPLICATIONS, ENTRY FORMS AND CONDITION BOOKS.

         6.1.    Agreements, including, but not limited to, Stall Applications,
entry forms and condition books between SHRP and Thoroughbred Horsemen regarding
the stabling of horses, the racing of horses, the training of horses or other
activities at the Racetrack owned by SHRP, and conditions of racing established
by SHRP, shall not contain provisions which absolve, indemnify or hold SHRP
harmless from liability, or limit liability for injury or loss to person or
property (including horses) at the Racetrack caused by negligence of SHRP or its
agents or employees. In the event of any inconsistency between these provisions
and the Act and Rules, the Act and Rules shall control. Further, these
provisions shall be deemed to be amended to the extent of, and to be in
compliance with, any amendment to the Rules.

         6.2.    At least 30 days prior to delivery of the form of Stall
Application to Thoroughbred Horsemen, SHRP shall deliver to the Association for
review and approval a copy of the form of Stall Application that SHRP intends to
use during any live Thoroughbred Racing Meet, which shall be in substantially
the same form and contain the same or similar terms and conditions as set forth
in the form of Stall Application attached hereto as Exhibit "B", and made a part
hereof for all purposes. The Association will encourage all Thoroughbred
Horsemen assigned stalls at the Racetrack to honor and abide by the terms of the
Stall Application. However, the review by the Association of the terms of the
Stall Application does not constitute a release or waiver under the terms of the
Stall Application of any claims, causes of action or rights that the Association
or any Thoroughbred Horseman may have against SHRP and/or the Racetrack for
damages caused by any act, omissions or negligence of SHRP and/or management,
employees or agents of the Racetrack.

         6.3     At least 60 days prior to the start of each Thoroughbred Race
Meeting, the racing secretary of the Racetrack shall submit to the Association
(or the Association's designated Racetrack Backside Committee) for its review
and comment an advance proof of the first proposed condition book setting forth
the purse level and conditions for each class and category of races to be
conducted during the first racing period of the Thoroughbred Racing Meet. The
first condition book will be furnished along with the first distribution of
Stall Applications to Thoroughbred Horsemen. Advance proofs of subsequent
condition books for the current Thoroughbred Race Meeting shall be submitted to
the Association (or the Association's designated Racetrack Backside Committee)
for its review and comment at least six (6) days prior to publication. Any
recommendations shall be presented to the racing secretary within 72 hours of
receipt of the proof of the condition book by the Association (or the
Association's designated Racetrack Backside Committee). The condition books
shall be subject to Section 6.1 and 6.2 herein.

         6.4     SHRP shall strive to ensure that the races written in the
condition book fit the needs of horses in the geographic area, including but not
limited to those stabled on grounds.

         6.5     The racing secretary, or his/her designee, shall make every
effort reasonable to contact the authorized agent of any horse eligible for a
stakes or futurity race on the day of entry to that particular race or for that
particular race. The racing secretary or his/her designee shall provide the
Horsemen's Bookkeeper with a list of all eligible horses for any stakes or
futurity race, along with Owners and Trainers of those horses, on the morning of
entry for their respective race. The parties recognize that the ultimate
responsibility for entries lies with the Owner and Trainer.

         6.6     Upon cancellation of any race in the condition book, the number
of horses and names of the Trainers which were entered in such race shall be
posted, or announced in the SHRP racing office, before each day's draw following
the cancellation.

         6.7     Prior to adopting any "house rules" affecting Thoroughbred
Horsemen, the racing secretary shall consult with the Association (or the
Association's designated Racetrack Backside Committee), and solicit their input.

         6.8     No race shall be called off before 10:00 a.m. on the day of
entry.  Final run-down must be given 15 minutes prior to closing.

         6.9     All Thoroughbred allowance races in the condition book that
receive seven (7) entries of different interests or more must be used.

         SECTION 7.        OFFICIALLY-RECOGNIZED HORSEMEN'S ORGANIZATION'S
                           EXPENSES AND BENEVOLENCE.

         The Association and SHRP agree that, beginning on the Effective Date of
this Agreement, and continuing until such time as different percentages or
amounts may be agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement, funding of the
Partnership's (or the Officially-Recognized Horsemen's Organization, as
applicable) expenses and benevolence shall be provided by deducting from the
Purse Allocation and paying to the Partnership (or the Officially-Recognized
Horsemen's Organization, as applicable) on a monthly basis (within ten days for
the preceding month's purse revenues) an amount equal to 3% (.03) of all
Purse-Allocated Monies generated from live, Simulcast and Cross-Species
Greyhound Simulcast wagering, agreements with greyhound Racing Associations or
greyhound breed organizations concerning funds derived from Simulcasting and
Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting, if any, SHRP's off-track wagering
facilities, if any, account wagering, if any, and/or Additional Forms of Gaming
conducted at the Racetrack, if any, during the term of this Agreement. Any
interest or other investment income derived from the Purse-Allocated Monies on
deposit in the Purse Account less reasonable and customary bank and other
service charges shall be paid to the Partnership (or the Officially-Recognized
Horsemen's Organization, as applicable) at least monthly, or as provided under
the terms of the Custodial Agreement. The Partnership (or the Officially-
Recognized Horsemen's Organization, as applicable) hereby indemnifies SHRP
against any claim by an Owner, whether a member of the Association or not, as a
result of payments made pursuant to this Section 7.

         SECTION 8.        OPENING AND CONDITION OF RACETRACK FACILITIES.

         8.1     SHRP will open its Racetrack facilities for stabling and
training at least fifteen (15) days prior to the beginning date of each
scheduled live Thoroughbred Race Meeting during the term of this Agreement for
use by Thoroughbred Horsemen and Backstretch Personnel. From the time backside
facilities (kitchen, grooms' living quarters, barns, main track, horse walkers,
etc.) are opened, the Racetrack will be maintained six (6) days a week (except
for holiday weeks) by SHRP so that it is in racing condition for use by
Thoroughbred Horsemen and Backstretch Personnel. The barn area and grooms'
living quarters at the Racetrack will remain open for use by Thoroughbred
Horsemen and Backstretch Personnel five (5) business days after each
Thoroughbred Race Meeting is concluded.

         8.2     SHRP agrees to provide and maintain sanitary bathrooms, washers
and dryers, and a kitchen in the Racetrack stable area or the area immediately
adjacent thereto for use by Thoroughbred Horsemen and Backstretch Personnel. The
Racetrack kitchen will maintain hours of operation consistent with race day
schedules and backside training hours.

         8.3     SHRP agrees to provide adequate grooms' living quarters for
Licensed grooms employed by Trainers during any Thoroughbred Race Meeting on the
following basis:

                 (i)      at  least  one  accommodation  for  each  8-10  stalls
                          allotted  to a Trainer, to be determined on a Meet by
                          Meet basis;
                 (ii)     equivalent facilities for men and women; and
                 (iii)    equipped with windows that open, air conditioning,
                          heating, hot and cold water, and showers, toilets and
                          sinks.

         8.4     SHRP shall furnish a warning horn or system for use by the
clockers during training hours in order to advise horsemen training on the SHRP
track of loose horses or other dangerous conditions.

         8.5     SHRP shall maintain the Racetrack facility in a condition as
required by the Act and Rules for Thoroughbred Horsemen, Backstretch Personnel
and horses. SHRP shall furnish the Association all notices from the Commission
and proposals for corrective action by SHRP pursuant to Section 6.061 of the Act
of any finding by the Commission of inappropriate or unsafe conditions existing
at the Racetrack facility.

         SECTION 9.        UNIFORM SCRATCH RULE.

         The scratch rules will be published in each condition book. Scratch
rules will not be changed with less than seven (7) days advance notice to
Thoroughbred Horsemen without the written agreement of the Association.

         SECTION 10.       INVESTIGATIONS AND SEARCHES.

         SHRP agrees that SHRP personnel will not conduct any investigation or
searches of the person, property, living quarters and/or vehicles of any
Thoroughbred Horsemen, Backstretch Personnel and/or their agents or their
property without (i) the attendance of an Association representative or a
designated Thoroughbred Horsemen's representative and (ii) the supervision of
officials of the Commission, the Texas Department of Public Safety or other
governmental agencies having jurisdiction over such matters, except in an
emergency situation which constitutes a threat to the security of the premises,
a threat to life or limb of a person or animal, or a threat to the integrity of
racing. Any such search or seizure shall be conducted strictly in accordance
with published, posted rules, regulations and policy of the Racetrack in a
reasonable manner and pursuant to law. SHRP shall not object to any Thoroughbred
Horseman or Backstretch Personnel that is required to go before the stewards as
a result of such an investigation, search or seizure requesting the attendance
of an Association representative.

         SECTION 11.       RACE CANCELLATION.

         11.1    SHRP shall use the conditions published in the condition book
prior to using any races written as substitutes or extras whenever possible in
setting the card for each day's racing program.

         11.2    Cancellation of a stakes race shall be accomplished with as
much notice by SHRP to the entrants and the Association as reasonably possible.

         SECTION 12.       SIMULCASTS.

         12.1(a) All Simulcasting (of horse races), deductions from applicable
simulcast pools for Purse Accounts and distributions from deductions from
applicable simulcast pools to Purse Accounts at the Racetrack shall be governed
by the Act, the Rules, the Interstate Horse Racing Act and the provisions of
this Agreement. All Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting (of greyhound races),
deductions from applicable simulcast pools for Purse Accounts and distributions
from deductions from applicable simulcast pools shall be governed by the Act,
the Rules and the provisions of this Agreement.

         12.1(b) The Association hereby conditionally approves all import
(guest) and export (host) Simulcasting of horse races, whether interstate or
intrastate, at, to or from the Racetrack, subject to withdrawal of approval of
individual horse simulcast signals or horse simulcast signals collectively, for
(i) a material breach of this Agreement by SHRP, (ii) non-compliance by SHRP
with the provisions of Section 12.1 (d) and (e) of this Agreement, (iii) matters
involving the integrity of racing, or (iv) non-compliance with the Interstate
Horse Racing Act, the Act, the Rules, or other provisions of this Agreement
pertaining to Simulcasting of horse races, provided SHRP conducts at least 60
live Thoroughbred racing programs as a part of its Thoroughbred Race Meetings
during a calendar year or such lower number of days as the Commission allocates
to SHRP if SHRP applies for at least 60 live Thoroughbred racing dates for its
Thoroughbred Race Meetings for such year. Furthermore, the Association reserves
the right to grant or deny approval of any and all specific requests to export
the SHRP Thoroughbred Simulcast signal to any Receiving Location.

         12.1(c) The Association hereby also conditionally approves import
(guest) Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting, whether interstate or intrastate,
at the Racetrack, subject to withdrawal of approval of individual imported
greyhound simulcast signals or imported greyhound simulcast signals
collectively, for (i) a material breach of this Agreement by SHRP, (ii)
non-payment to horse purses of the amounts specified in Section 12.6 of this
Agreement, (iii) non-compliance by SHRP with the provisions of Section 12.1 (d)
and (e) of this Agreement, (iv) matters involving the integrity of racing, or
(v) non-compliance with the Act, the Rules or other provisions of this Agreement
pertaining to Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting of greyhound races, provided
SHRP conducts the minimum number of live Thoroughbred racing programs specified
in Section 12.1 (b) of this Agreement, and further provided that SHRP at all
times gives preference in number to the simulcasting of imported horse races
over the simulcasting of imported greyhound races at the Racetrack and SHRP's
off-track wagering facilities, if any.

         12.1(d) With respect to any Simulcasting or Cross-Species Greyhound
Simulcasting relating to SHRP, upon request, SHRP shall provide copies of all
agreements between SHRP and Sending Tracks and Receiving Locations relating to
requests for Simulcasting and Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting pursuant to
Sections 321.203 and 321.204 of the Rules for the Association's review and
approval, including information relating to financial compensation for SHRP and
Thoroughbred Horsemen participating in live Thoroughbred Race Meetings conducted
by SHRP, as may be reasonably requested by the Association. In addition, SHRP
shall provide the Association, upon request, signed copies of all Simulcasting
and Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting contracts executed by SHRP as soon as
practicable after the execution by all parties thereof.

         12.1(e) It is the understanding and agreement of the parties that the
Association shall have the right to approve or deny each Simulcast or
Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcast request and/or contract submitted by SHRP to
the Commission for approval pursuant to Sections 321.203 and 321.204 of the
Rules and nothing herein is intended to bestow blanket approval for future
Simulcasting or Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting at the Racetrack.

         12.2(a) Subject to Section 6.08 of the Act and other provisions of the
Act, which shall control to the extent the following amounts shall vary
therefrom, SHRP shall set aside for purses from import horse applicable

                 Total Recoupment   . . . . . . . . .          $1,600,000.00

         12.6    All Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting at the Racetrack, if

statuatory allocations provided in Section 6.091 of the Act. Any funds from
Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting attributable to the Thoroughbred Horsemen's
Purse Allocation shall be deposited timely in the Purse Account for the benefit
of Thoroughbred Horsemen. In the event that SHRP receives a Cross-Species
Simulcast Signal at the Racetrack, and an agreement is reached between the
Association and other applicable greyhound Racing Associations and/or other
applicable greyhound breed organizations concerning funds derived from
Simulcasting and/or Cross-Species Greyhound Simulcasting that varies any
statutory percentage or amount of purse monies payable to the official state
breed registry for greyhounds resulting in additional monies payable to
Thoroughbred Horsemen, then such monies also shall be deposited timely in the
Purse Account for the benefit of Thoroughbred Horsemen.

         SECTION 13.       RECOGNITION OF COMMITTEES.

         SHRP shall recognize, consult with and cooperate with any committees
established by the Association for the purposes of addressing matters at the
Racetrack affecting Thoroughbred Horsemen and Backstretch Personnel, including
but not limited to (i) a Racetrack Backside Committee, (ii) a Racetrack
Benevolence Committee and (iii) a Racetrack Condition Book Committee, if any.
SHRP shall not recognize any other person or entity other than such Association
committees as the official spokesman for Thoroughbred Horsemen at the Racetrack
on such matters.

         SECTION 14.       HORSEMEN'S SEATING AREA.

         SHRP shall provide free of charge to Thoroughbred Horsemen not less
than 27 seats located in reasonable proximity to the Winner's Circle for use by
Thoroughbred Horsemen and their employees. Said seats shall be clearly
designated and policed by SHRP for Thoroughbred Horsemen only.

         SECTION 15.       GUEST PASSES.

         SHRP shall provide, free of charge, six (6) daily guest passes to the
grandstand for guests of those Thoroughbred Horsemen who are licensed and have
horses running at SHRP during the Thoroughbred Racing Meet. Thoroughbred
Horsemen will sign for these passes and accept responsibility for those guests,
subject to the rules and regulations of the Commission and SHRP.

         SECTION 16.       CHAPLAIN SERVICES.

         SHRP and the Association acknowledge that it is traditional and
customary for horsemen and the racetracks to pay equal amounts to help support
the Chaplain's services at each Texas racetrack. Currently horsemen and other
Class 1 racetracks in Texas are each donating equal amounts per month for such
services. SHRP and the Association (through the Texas Horsemen's Assistance
Fund, Inc.) agree to each pay the amount mutually agreed upon for such services,
or additional amounts required for such services. This contribution shall be in
addition to any special events or "Charity Days" scheduled to benefit the
Chaplaincy program. All sums due pursuant to this provision shall be paid timely
each month to the Race Track Chaplaincy of Texas by the parties. The amount of
each party's monthly contribution may be changed from time to time by written
agreement of the parties hereto.

         SECTION 17.       FIRST AID STATION.

         SHRP agrees to provide emergency first aid to all backstretch personnel
and ambulance service in accordance with Commission regulations. Such treatment
shall be subject to a release and waiver of liability from the treated party and
without any liability to either SHRP or the Association.

         SECTION 18.       ADDRESSING OF PROBLEMS.

         The Association (or a Racetrack Backside Committee designated by the
Association) and SHRP shall address all material concerns of the Thoroughbred
Horsemen relating to any matters affecting or concerning the Thoroughbred
Horsemen and Backstretch Personnel and their relationship with SHRP and
management of the Racetrack. Any matters relating to the relationship of the
Thoroughbred Horsemen and SHRP, including any Thoroughbred Horsemen's concerns
regarding either the operation of the Racetrack or its management, or any
alleged breach of this Agreement, shall be brought to the attention of the other
party in writing as soon as practicable and the parties shall make a reasonable
effort to amicably and equitably adjust and resolve any problems or other
matters which may arise between the parties.

         SECTION 19.       AMENDMENTS.

         The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be modified or amended
only by mutual consent of the parties in writing, signed by a duly authorized
representative of SHRP and a duly authorized representative of the Association
(or the Officially-Recognized Horsemen's Organization, as applicable).

         SECTION 20.       COMMISSION APPROVAL.

         The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be subject to approval
in accordance with the appropriate procedures of the Commission. If the terms
and conditions of this Agreement are inconsistent with the Act or the Rules,
either current or as amended, the Act or Rules, as applicable, will control
unless both parties to this Agreement agree to renegotiate any provisions which
are determined to be inconsistent with the Act or Rules.

         SECTION 21.       INSURANCE.

         21.1    There is presently in existence a Fire and Disaster Insurance
Plan under the auspices of the National HBPA, whereby insurance is provided by a
reputable insurance company selected by the National HBPA, which, with certain
limitations, protects the owners of horses against the loss of their racehorses,
tack, etc., due to fire or disaster. Racing Associations assist in providing
financing for this program, and, for the purpose of determining the amount of
contribution, are grouped into categories on the basis of handle. SHRP, as
signatory to this Agreement, agrees to participate in a proportionate share of
the annual premium for the National HBPA Fire and Disaster Program in effect
during the term of this Agreement.

         21.2    Furthermore, SHRP acknowledges its mutual interest with the
Association in ensuring that jockeys who ride at the Racetrack's races are fit
and able, and SHRP therefore agrees during the term of this Agreement to make
all payments to the Jockeys Guild, Inc. required to be made by that certain
agreement by and between the Jockeys Guild, Inc. and the Thoroughbred Racing
Association, effective January 1, 2000.

         SECTION 22.       NON-DISCRIMINATION.

         SHRP and the Association expressly agree that neither of them will
discriminate for or against any person because of such person's race, color,
creed, origin, sex, religious preference or affiliation. The parties expressly
agree that there shall be no acts, direct, indirect or subtle, that in any
manner can be interpreted as retaliation or retribution against any person for
any affiliation, statement, position or action of the Association, other than as
may be expressly permitted by law.

         SECTION 23.       GENDER REFERENCES.

         The parties agree that any reference herein to "horsemen" includes
horsewomen as well and all masculine references and pronouns used herein include
the female equivalent. The masculine references are used merely in order to
reflect language used in the industry and currently incorporated into the
governing document of the Association and the Act and Rules.

         SECTION 24.       BINDING.

         This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of SHRP,
the Association and the Partnership (or the Officially-Recognized Horsemen's
Organization, as applicable), and each of their successors and authorized
assigns. Neither party shall assign this Agreement nor any rights, duties or
obligations thereunder to a third party without the express written consent of
the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition,
neither party shall utilize related entities in order to frustrate the
performance of any right, duty or obligation under this Agreement.

         SECTION 25.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

         SECTION  26.    TEXAS LAW.

         This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the state of Texas. The parties agree that Travis
County, Texas will be the venue of any dispute and will have jurisdiction over
all parties.

         SECTION  27.    ATTORNEY'S FEES.

         If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement
or interpretation of this Agreement or any Exhibit hereto or because of an
alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with or
related to this Agreement or any Exhibit hereto, the successful or prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs in
connection with that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to
which it or they may be entitled.

         SECTION 28.     WAIVER.

         The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
or any Exhibit hereto by the other parties shall not operate or be construed as
a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party.

         SECTION 29.     NOTICES.
