CA AB1437

Amends Section 19596.2 of the Business and Professions Code to exempt the Whitney Stakes from the 50 imported thoroughbred races per day limitation.

Allows thoroughbred racing associations and fairs to distribute audiovisual signals and accept wagers on out-of-state thoroughbred races during their race meetings without consent of horsemen organizations.

Adds the Whitney Stakes to the list of exempt races that already includes the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes, Breeders' Cup, and other major racing events.

Races imported as part of the Whitney Stakes race card are no longer subject to the statewide 50 per day import limit on days when live racing is conducted in California.
