California Horse Racing Board: racing weeks: multiyear calendar: evening races.

"?>The Horse Racing Law gives the board the authority to allocate racing weeks to an applicant or applicants pursuant to specified provisions of law and to specify such racing days, dates, and hours for horse racing meetings as will be in the public interest, and will subserve the purposes of the Horse Racing Law. This bill would, notwithstanding these provisions, give the board the authority to allocate racing weeks based on a multiyear calendar to an applicant or applicants pursuant to specified provisions of law. The bill would also authorize the board, when proposed start time temperatures present a serious risk to horses, jockeys, or other backstretch employees and at the request of the racing association or fair, to authorize races scheduled for daytime hours to be run in the evening.
