CHRB Advisory On Status Of Horse Racing

In this time of an extraordinary health crisis and pandemic, the California Horse Racing Board is relying on state, county and local health authorities to determine whether horse racing is deemed essential for exemption from shelter-in-place orders issued by those authorities.

The CHRB will assist health authorities in enforcing their decisions. Regardless of the status of racing, the CHRB’s top priority is the health of horses and on-site personnel, and it is the Board’s expectation that industry stakeholders will accommodate the needs of horses and workers during this unprecedented time.
