(a) A racing association or fair may simulcast its racing program as the host association and/or any other association or fair racing programs as an authorized user either by forming its own simulcast organization as defined in Rule 2059 of this division or by acting on its own behalf by contracting with each individual fair or racing association simulcast facility or by contracting with an existing simulcast organization. If the association or fair acts on its own behalf, it is responsible for all of the provisions outlined in Rule 2060 of this division.

(b) A host association is responsible for the content and broadcast quality of its simulcast and shall use all reasonable effort to present a simulcast which offers viewers an exemplary depiction of its racing program, e.g., pre-race activities such as the paddock area, pony riders and racehorses on the track, the starting gate, the actual race in its entirety and post race activities such as the replay of the race, the finish line showing the horses crossing in slow motion, any replay where there is an inquiry by the stewards, the winner's circle and excerpts of the race. A periodic display of wagering information shall be shown, e.g., the odds information, win, place and show pools and the probable payouts on different types of wagers on the screen and scanning of the tote board on an intermittent basis. The simulcast shall contain continuity programming between horse racing events, e.g., display of the paddock and walking ring, replays of the previous race, the horses and outriders, odds information and overall activity at the track.

(c) Simulcasts must be encrypted using a time displacement decoding algorithm encryption system. If new technology is available, approval by the Board's Pari-mutuel Operations Committee must be obtained before its use by a simulcast facility. Approval shall be requested in writing to the Board. The Board shall act to approve the request at its next regularly scheduled Pari-mutuel Operations Committee meeting if the request is received two weeks before the meeting date.

(d) The content of every simulcast video will contain a digital display of the calendar date, time of day, name of the racetrack from where it emanates and the number of the race being displayed. All replays of races will be so designated on the video image.

(e) Every host association shall make its totalizator system available for common pooling of pari-mutuel amounts from guest associations with pari-mutuel pools. All wagers made available by a host association shall be made available to all simulcast facilities.

(f) If the host association is authorized by the Board to simulcast a feature race for wagering use by any California racing association, fair or simulcast facility, and is authorized, under Section 19601(a)(3) of the Business and Professions Code, not to combine the wagers made at the other association, fair or facility with its own pari-mutuel pools, the association shall nevertheless pay the license fee on all amounts wagered on the feature race based on the license fee schedule applicable to its race meeting.

(g) A facsimile (FAX) machine must be available at all times in the totalizator room for ease of administration when pools are merged with other simulcasting facilities.
