Horses that win a California-bred first-level allowance race will enjoy expanded opportunities beginning with the Dec. 26 opening of the Classic Meet at Santa Anita, the track announced Friday. The Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC), in collaboration with Santa Anita, Del Mar, Los Alamitos and the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association (CTBA), have reached an agreement to broaden the available options to include two wins over the same surface in Cal-bred first conditioned allowance races. Under the existing policy, Cal-breds are entitled to two wins in the first level allowance if the wins are recorded on different surfaces (dirt or turf). The new enhancement bolsters this program by permitting two wins on the same surface at two separate distance categories: one win at seven furlongs or less (short) and the other at one mile or longer (long). The agreement to expand the available options is on a one-year trial basis for 2026 with the understanding that the cap of a maximum two wins within the condition is unchanged. “These expanded opportunities in the Cal-bred first-level allowance races is the latest measure taken to further strengthen the state bred program,” said Bill Nader, President of the TOC. “This follows recent announcements where purse levels for maiden special weight and first-level allowance races have been significantly increased to $70,000 at Santa Anita for the Classic meet, of which half of the races are restricted to horses bred in California. The increase in the owner bonus from $10,000 to $12,500 in Cal-bred maiden special weight races run at Santa Anita also begins with immediate effect on Dec. 26. Much of this momentum is a direct result of the success of the single circuit which channels our resources more effectively.” “This is a great modification to the current policy, and it will be helpful to horses and horse owners,” said trainer Mark Glatt, a TOC board member. “It provides a secondary path by making horses eligible for a second win in the category on the racing surface of their choice. Horses that take this path will need to run both short and long. I would like to thank the racing offices at the southern California racetracks for their willingness to trial this in the coming year.” CTBA President Chief Stipe Burge applauded the new policy, saying “it is a great addition to the $30 million Cal-bred racing and incentive program that now offers even more opportunities to the California-breds, which currently make up roughly 50% of our field sizes. Through the support of TOC and the racing associations, we continue to reward those breeding and racing in the state. If you race in California, it now pays more than ever to have Cal-breds in your barn.” Santa Anita Park's 2025-26 Classic Meet kicks off Friday, Dec. 26, 2025.

The majority of youngsters betting on sport usually follow only certain sports, Basketball a favourite. Game goes for 2 hrs, so unless betting inplay, money tied up for awhile.
