Existing law, the Horse Racing Law, authorizes the California Horse Racing Board to make allocations of racing weeks, as it deems appropriate, and, for thoroughbred racing, establishes a maximum of 44 weeks per year of racing weeks in the northern zone, a maximum of 42 weeks per year in the central zone, and a maximum of 7 weeks per year in the southern zone. Existing law also prohibits the board from allocating dates to a thoroughbred association in the central zone for conducting racing during daytime hours, if in the southern zone, a thoroughbred racing association is conducting racing on the same date during daytime hours. A violation of the Horse Racing Law is a crime.
