In Saratoga Harness
Racing, Inc. v. Veneglia, plaintiff, the owner of a horse racing
track, brought suit against the defendants, who were representatives of
various trade associations dealing with horses and racing arrangements.
The suit rested on an antitrust theory, with the plaintiffs alleging
that the defendants had organized a boycott through their membership and
alleging that the defendants had engaged in an illegal "tying"
operation where the simulcasts of the races would be withheld. The
defendants tried to raise a plethora of affirmative defenses, but the
court allowed only a fraction of them. This was the final disposition of
the case.
