Going back to this, can someone explain how it is possible for an amendment to kill a bill? I don't really understand.

The bill had exemptions for horseracing and lotteries. The amendment did not have those exemptions. If the amendment passed, then the horse racing industry would've been up in arms and probably gets the bill killed in the Senate.
