Providing WV certified thoroughbred eligibility and increase restricted race caps

Summary

The bill defines a West Virginia Certified Thoroughbred and allows these horses to run in restricted races, while requiring tracks that have long‑time participation in the state fund to hold three restricted races per day instead of one. It also sets up bonus formulas for breeders, raisers, sire owners and horse owners, funded from the West Virginia Thoroughbred Development Fund and a new administration account. The changes aim to boost local breeding, racing opportunities, and purse money in West Virginia.
