Sixth Circuit lets TwinSpires continue Michigan wagering during appeal
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on 1 August refused Michigan’s request to pause an injunction allowing TwinSpires to accept bets in the state while litigation continues. The Michigan Gaming Control Board had suspended the platform in December 2024 over the absence of a qualifying in-state racetrack partner; the lower court had issued its injunction on 19 February.
The ruling allows TwinSpires to continue Michigan operations while the dispute over the state’s racetrack-partner requirement proceeds.
