Description

This case involves the issuing of licenses and the allocation of racing dates by the Illinois Harness Racing Commission. After
hearings, the Commission issued licenses and allocated racing dates to Maywood Park Trotting Association, Inc., plaintiff,
(Maywood), Fox Valley Trotting Club, Inc., (Fox Valley), Chicago Downs Association, Inc., (Chicago Downs), and Suburban Downs
Association, Inc., (Suburban Downs). Maywood and Fox Valley filed complaints for administrative review in the superior court
of Cook County, which were consolidated. That court affirmed the order of the Commission, and only Maywood appealed directly
to this court, attacking the constitutionality of certain sections of the Harness Racing Act. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1957, chap.
8, pars. 37s-37s.34. Under the Illinois Harness Racing Act, the racing season extends from March 1 through November 15. In 1958, applications
were filed for the following dates: Maywood, April 28 through July 5; Suburban Downs, September 1 through October 18; Chicago
Downs, July 4 through August 30; and Fox Valley, May 19 through July 3. Upon hearing, the Commission issued licenses to the
four applicants, and allocated the following racing dates for the 1958 season: Maywood, April 3 through May 31, (59 days);
Fox Valley, June 2 through July 5, (34 days); Chicago Downs, July 7 through August 30, (55 days); Suburban Downs, September
1 through October 15 (45 days). All the racing meets were held at two tracks in the Chicago area, Maywood Park and Sportsman's
Park. Sportsman's is owned and operated by the National Jockey Club, while Maywood Park is owned and operated by Maywood on
a long term lease. Maywood Park is used exclusively for harness racing, while the National Jockey Club conducts running races
at Sportsman's, and leases to others for harness racing. Maywood has conducted its 13 meets on its own track; Fox Valley has
also conducted 13 meets, six as a tenant at the Aurora Downs track, in Aurora, Illinois, four as a tenant of Maywood, and
the last three as a subtenant of Chicago Downs at Sportsman's Park. Chicago Downs has leased Sportsman's Park from the National
Jockey Club from May 15 to September 1 of each year since 1949, but such lease is inoperative during the period of any running-race
meet for which the National Jockey Club may obtain dates. Chicago Downs in turn subleased to Fox Valley from 1956 through
1959, for 40 racing nights between May 15 and September 1, subject to the provision that any harness racing dates allotted
Fox Valley do not conflict with dates which may be granted to the National Jockey Club for running races, or to Chicago Downs
for harness races. Maywood has leased to Suburban Downs since 1954. For the 1958 season, 78 harness racing dates were allocated
to tenants of Sportsman's and 31 running-race days for a total of 109 days.
