California horse racing is facing shutdown due to a lack of consensus on implementing Historical Horse Racing (HHR) machines. Years ago, stakeholders, including Native American tribes who control non-pari-mutuel gambling, were open to collaboration. However, conflicts between Northern and Southern tracks prevented a resolution. Louis Cella, a key figure in HHR's implementation, expressed disappointment over the missed opportunity to save California racing, highlighting how special interests complicated the discussion. The underlying challenges remain, jeopardizing the future of horse racing in California.
California horse racing's potential revival via Historical Horse Racing machines suffered from internal conflict and lack of consensus among stakeholders, jeopardizing its future.
