In the wake of 23 horse deaths at Santa Anita Park, California legislators are pushing for a new bill that would give a regulatory board the power to “swiftly and decisively” suspend the licenses of racetracks when safety concerns exist.
Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, and Assemblyman Adam Gray, D-Merced, introduced the legislation Wednesday and announced plans to have a joint oversight hearing on horse racing safety in the next month. The bill was drafted after Dodd and Gray met with Chuck Winner, the chairman of the California Horse Racing Board, several weeks ago.
