Horse racing: out-of-state thoroughbred races: the Arlington Million.

Existing law authorizes a thoroughbred horse racing association or fair to distribute the audiovisual signal and accept wagers on the results of out-of-state thoroughbred races conducted in the United States during the calendar period the association or fair is conducting a race meeting, including days on which there is no live racing being conducted by the association or fair, without the consent of the organization that represents horsemen participating in the race meeting and without regard to the amount of purse. Existing law prohibits the total number of thoroughbred races imported by associations or fairs on a statewide basis from exceeding 32 per day on days when live thoroughbred or fair racing is being conducted in the state. However, that limitation excludes imported races that are part of the race card of the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, and other specified races.This bill would add races that are part of the race card of the Arlington Million to the list of imported races not subject to the limitation of 32 races per day.
