Colorado Court Rules All Breakage Goes to Associations DENVER, Colo., June 24. — It was revealed today that in a decision handed down on Monday, June 21, by the State Supreme Court in a suit brought by Centennial Turf Club, Inc., against the Colorado Racing Commission, it was decided that all breakage be retained by the licensed association. The Colorado Racing Act had made no provision for the distribution of breakage, only referring to it by limiting breaks to 10 cents. The commission, acting on an opinion of the attorney general, adopted a policy paying the breakage into the general fund of the"~state, and the tracks complied with this rule under protest. It appears from the courts decision, that the question of a refund of breaks paid under protest has been deferred but all future breakage will go to the associations.
