TwinSpires is granted a preliminary injunction by the ruling, which permits the business to carry on with its operations within the state.<\/p>\n<p>The MGCB filed the case, alleging that Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI)-owned TwinSpires was conducting business illegally in Michigan. The regulator contended that a licensed racetrack holding live races is necessary for pari-mutuel betting, whether it be done in person or by advance deposit wagering (ADW).<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"785\" data-end=\"833\">Licensing Dispute at the Heart of the Case<\/h2>\n<p>Which state\u2019s license requirements applied was at the heart of the legal dispute. According to federal law, interstate simulcast betting is permissible if the track hosting the race, the horsemen\u2019s association, and the necessary state authorities provide consent.<\/p>\n<p>TwinSpires said that because it has a license from the Oregon Racing Commission, it processed its ADW wagers in Oregon. However, the MGCB asserted that Michigan law required its own consent for these kinds of bets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1525\">Judge Hala Y.
