CHRB Investigates Past-Post Wagering Snafu

The California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) is investigating a communications failure involving the first race at Turf Paradise on January 26 that allowed wagering to continue at California racetracks and simulcast facilities for five minutes after the start of the race

. ADW was not affected.

CHRB has been advised that the $3,896 wagered at California racetracks and simulcast facilities on the first race never was merged with the Turf Paradise pools, so this problem did not affect the integrity of the Turf Paradise pools. All legitimate winning wagers placed prior to the start of the race by persons at California racetracks and simulcast facilities will be paid. The 84 tickets purchased after the start of the race will be refunded.

The CHRB will issue a full report when its investigation is completed.
