California Horse Racing - Santa Anita, Del Mar, Hollywood Park Racing Picks, Tips & Result

California country fairs are the very heart of this state's horse racing scene. Since the early days of exploration and settlement, people have come together at certain times of the year to enjoy the festival or a special event. And they came by horseback.

The horse racing industry we know today was established in 1933. The stated purpose of the racing law which created it was the "encouragement of agriculture and breeding of horses." Wagering of money on horse races in California had been outlawed since 1909 and the return to "legalized gambling" was made possible by a statewide initiative which was only passed after three attempts.

The successful version of racing legislation included a commitment for the continuous funding of the fairs of California with an annual allotment of racing revenues to be used for health, safety and maintenance projects.

Thus, horse racing and fairs share a particularly special partnership. It is in the state fairs where the historical legacy California horse racing is deeply rooted.
