US Racing Website, Offshore Racebook Sued By Stronach Group Tracks

The operators of Santa Anita Park and Golden Gate Fields have filed a lawsuit against US Racing and BUSR. The website is accused of facilitating illegal online betting on California races and from California residents. Both LATC and PRA are part of the 1/ST Racing, owned by The Stronach Group. Neither company is licensed through the California Horse Racing Board or authorized to accept wagers on the races. The suit was filed Oct. 20 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division. It claims that the two entities are in violation of Interstate Horseracing Act and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
