    Key Takeaways

    • Exempts the New York Stakes horse races from California's daily limit on imported out-of-state racing broadcasts.
    • Allows betting facilities to broadcast and accept wagers on more out-of-state races during live racing days.
    • Requires consent from local racing associations for accepting wagers on races after 7 p.m. Pacific time.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Blanca Rubio's proposal to modify California's horse racing regulations would exempt the New York Stakes from existing limitations on imported out-of-state thoroughbred races. Current law caps the number of imported races at 75 per day when live thoroughbred or fair racing occurs in California, with exceptions for certain premier racing events.

    The measure maintains core regulatory requirements for thoroughbred racing associations and fairs that accept wagers on imported races, including compliance with established wagering protocols and timing restrictions. Racing organizations must obtain consent from harness or quarter horse racing associations conducting live meetings in Orange or Sacramento counties before accepting wagers on out-of-state races that begin after 7 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. When imported races total between 51 and 75 on days with live racing, this consent requirement applies to races starting after 5 p.m.

    The bill preserves existing exemptions for major racing events like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes, while adding the New York Stakes to this category. These exempted races do not count toward the daily import limit, allowing racing associations and fairs to offer wagering on these events regardless of the total number of imported races that day.
