Summary

The bill changes California law so that thoroughbred racing venues can import and take wagers on the New York Stakes and a list of other major out‑of‑state races without counting toward the 75‑race‑per‑day cap. It also lets venues broadcast and accept bets on those races without needing approval from horsemen’s organizations. The change expands betting options for California bettors and racing operators while keeping existing wagering regulations.
