AI Summary
This bill further regulates thoroughbred breeding in Massachusetts. It amends the existing law to increase the incentives and bonuses offered to breeders and owners of Massachusetts-bred and Massachusetts-accredited thoroughbred horses that finish in the top five positions in pari-mutuel races, both within and outside the Commonwealth. The bill also authorizes the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders Association to pay incentives for races limited to Massachusetts-bred and accredited horses, and to pay foaling bonuses to owners of mares that foal within the Commonwealth. The bill sets specific eligibility requirements for a horse to be considered Massachusetts-bred or Massachusetts-accredited, and requires the annual auditing of the Breeders Association's books by the state auditor.
