(b) For thoroughbred and quarter horse racing only, the total amount distributed to horsemen and horsewomen for California-bred and California-sired stakes races, and for races featuring California-breds upon the approval of the official registering agency, from the purse account, including overnight stakes, shall be not less than 10 percent of the total amount distributed for all stakes races from the purse account, including overnight stakes races, at that meeting of the racing association licensed to conduct live racing.

(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the thoroughbred racing associations in this state, in conjunction with the official registering agency, and owners and trainers organizations meet and report to the board on the establishment of a coordinated California-bred restricted schedule of stakes races designed to showcase California-bred restricted stakes races and qualify registered California-bred horses for the California Cup and the California Cup Day races. It is also the intent of the Legislature that the report be submitted to the board annually at least 60 days prior to the start of the racing year.
