Providing WV certified thoroughbred eligibility and increase restricted race caps

Summary

The legislation defines what qualifies as a West Virginia‑accredited thoroughbred and establishes eligibility and purse rules for those horses to compete in restricted races. It also lifts the $1 million ceiling on state funding for restricted races at tracks that had not contributed to the West Virginia Development Fund for up to four consecutive years before Dec. 31, 1992. The changes aim to promote local breeding and expand racing opportunities.
