About the State Racing Commission

The State Racing Commission (SRC) is one of six agencies under the jurisdiction of the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. Consisting of a full time Chairman and two part-time Commissioners, the Commission is charged with supervising all conduct relating to the business of racing. The Commission regulates one Thoroughbred track, Suffolk Downs; one Harness track, Plainridge Racecourse; and two Greyhound tracks, Wonderland Park and Raynham/Taunton Greyhound Park. The racing industry is estimated to provide both direct and indirect employment for more than 5,000 people in the Commonwealth.

Our Mission:

The State Racing Commission protects and upholds the integrity of the racing industry in Massachusetts. The Commission maintains fair and honest pari-mutuel racing by enforcing rules and regulations, proposing legislation and developing policies. Furthermore, it ensures the legitimate performance of all racing animals and the accountability of pari-mutuel wagering.
