Summary

(1) Existing law, the Horse Racing Law, generally regulates horse racing and vests the administration and enforcement of the Horse Racing Law in the California Horse Racing Board. Existing law provides that the intent of the Horse Racing Law is to allow parimutuel wagering on horse races while, among other things, supporting the network of California fairs. This bill would delete supporting the network of California fairs from that statement of intent. (2) Existing law requires all licenses granted under the Horse Racing Law to, among other things, contain such conditions as are deemed necessary or desirable by the board for the purposes of the Horse Racing Law. This bill would instead require those licenses to contain such conditions as are deemed necessary or desirable by the board for the best interests of horse racing and the purposes of the Horse Racing Law. The bill would also make technical, nonsubstantive changes. (3) Existing law requires any racing association, including a fair, that conducts thoroughbred racing to pay to the owners' organization contracting with the association with respect to the conduct of thoroughbred racing an additional 134% of the portion required to be deducted for purses for a national marketing program, as provided. These provisions are repealed as of January 1, 2011. This bill would instead provide for the repeal of these provisions on January 1, 2014. (4) Existing law provides that an "eligible thoroughbred stallion" means a thoroughbred stallion that was continuously present in this state during certain dates of the calendar year in which the qualifying race was conducted or, if the sire left this state after June 15 of the year in which the qualifying race was conducted, during certain dates of the following calendar year. Existing law provides that if a sire dies in this state and stood his last season at stud in this state, he shall thereafter continue to be considered an "eligible thoroughbred stallion." This bill would revise and recast the definition of "eligible thoroughbred stallion" by removing the requirement that the thoroughbred stallion be continuously present in this state during certain dates of the calendar year in which the qualifying race was conducted or that a sire be present during certain dates of the following calendar year and instead provide that an "eligible thoroughbred stallion" means a thoroughbred stallion that was continuously present in this state during certain dates of the calendar year in which he stood at stud and fathered the winner of the race. The bill would additionally provide that if a sire was standing at stud in this state on the date of his death, he shall thereafter continue to be considered an eligible thoroughbred stallion regarding a race participant fathered by him in that season. These provisions would only apply to thoroughbred stallions standing at stud and foals conceived in this state on or after January 1, 2010. (5) Existing law provides that a thoroughbred stallion shall be considered an eligible thoroughbred stallion only if its owner has filed a claim for stallion award on or before February 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year for which awards are being distributed and is registered with the official registering agency. This bill would additionally require that the stallion owner be registered with the official registering agency. The bill would require the official registering agency to establish procedures for the registration of stallion owners. These eligible thoroughbred stallion provisions would only apply in regard to thoroughbred stallions standing at stud and foals conceived in this state on or after January 1, 2010. (6) Existing law provides that a "stallion owner" means the person who is the owner of the eligible thoroughbred stallion as of December 31 of the calendar year in which that sire's foals had eligible earnings or the person who owned the eligible sire on the date that the stallion died. This bill would instead provide that "stallion owner" means the person who is the owner of the eligible thoroughbred stallion as of December 31 of each calendar year in which the eligible thoroughbred stallion stands at stud in this state as to all of that sire's foals (1) that were conceived in this state in that calendar year and (2) that thereafter have eligible earnings. The bill would provide that in regards to eligible thoroughbred stallions that die, that stallion must have had stood at stud in this state during that year in order for the person who owned that thoroughbred stallion to be the stallion owner for that year. These stallion owner provisions would only apply in regard to thoroughbred stallions standing at stud and foals conceived in this state on or after January 1, 2010.
