§ 19494 Racing Day Fee Adjustment

Key Takeaways

  • •If something out of your control stops you from holding a race on the approved day, you can ask the board for help.
  • •The board can either give your money back or let you pick a new day for the race.
  • •This only works if it’s not your fault and you didn’t do anything wrong.

Example

A race track is ready for a big race, but a huge storm floods the track, making it unsafe.

Since the storm wasn’t the track owner’s fault, they can ask the board to either give back the fee they paid or let them reschedule the race for another day.

§ 19494 Racing Day Fee Adjustment

If by reason of any cause beyond control, and through no fault or neglect of any licensee, and when the licensee is not in default, it becomes impossible for the licensee to hold or conduct racing upon any day authorized by the board, the board, in its discretion and at the request of the licensee, may either return any fee paid by the licensee for racing on that day or, as a substitute for such day, may specify any other day for the holding or conducting of racing by the licensee. (Added by Stats. 1959, Ch. 1828.)
