IN THE NORTH. TO PREPARE FOR A
TRANSITION. BE FUELED. THIS WILL
GIVE THE FARES, HORSEMEN,
TRAINERS, BREEDERS AND OUR
EMPLOYEES THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CREATE SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION

MR CHAIRMAN, REMEMBER SCOTT
WELCH ON BEHALF OF THE STRONACH
GROUP, THE LOS ANGELES TURF CLUB
AND ITS AFFILIATED ENTITY, THE
PACIFIC. RACING ASSOCIATION. UH
AS YOU ALL ARE WELL AWARE AND
CITED IN THE ANALYSIS.
UNFORTUNATELY MY CLIENT HAS HAD
TO MAKE THE VERY DIFFICULT
DECISION TO CEASE RACING AT
GOLDEN GATE FIELDS. IT WAS A
DECISION THAT WAS NOT MADE
LIGHTLY. BUT THE ECONOMICS OF
GOLDEN GATE FIELDS HAS JUST NOT
PANNED OUT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS
IN HIS OPERATED, UH, ADULTS AT A
LOSS. IN THE COMING MONTHS. THE
CALIFORNIA HORSE RACING BOARD.
WILL DECIDE REALLY THE FUTURE OF
RACING IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AS
WELL AS THE ENTIRE STATE. FOR
THAT MATTER WHAT THIS BILL A B
10 74 ACCOMPLISHES IS THAT IN
THE EVENT THAT THE CHRB IS NOT
SUCCESSFUL IN FINDING HOME A
HOME FOR THE DATES THAT WILL NOW
THE RACING DATES THAT WILL NO
LONGER BE OPERATED GOLDEN GATE
FIELDS IF THEY DON'T
SUCCESSFULLY FIND ANOTHER VENUES
FAIRS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO
ABSORB THOSE DATES. THIS BILL
ENSURES THAT ALL THE WAGERS THE
APPROPRIATE WAGERS ARE CONTINUED
TO BE COLLECTED AND THAT THEY
CONTINUE TO BE DISPERSED SO THAT
ALL OF THE ENTITIES WITHIN HORSE
RACING THAT RELY ON THOSE FUNDS
FROM THE CHRB ITSELF. ALL THE
EQUINE SAFETY. UH THE YOU KNOW
THE BREEDERS, THE TRACKS
THEMSELVES THE PURSES FOR THE
RACES. THE WORKERS COMP SYSTEM,
THE PENSIONS FOR THE WORKERS WHO
WORK AT EACH OF OUR TRACKS. THIS
WILL ENSURE THAT THOSE WAGES
CONTINUE TO NOT ONLY BE
COLLECTED BUT TO BE DISPERSED
PURSUANT TO WHAT THE STATUTE
REQUIRES. WITHOUT THIS BILL THAT
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE POSSIBLE.
SO THAT'S WHY THIS IS JUST A
VERY MUCH NEEDED, UH, URGENCY
MEASURE, AND WE APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR AND WE URGE AND I VOTE.
