The function of the CHRB is to watch over authorized California horse races to protect the public from fraudulent operations.

It is formally part of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency.

The current Executive Director of the CHRB is former steward Scott Chaney, who was one of three stewards who controversially voted not to disqualify Bayern from a victory in the 2014 Breeder's Cup Classic, despite the fact that the horse had significantly interfered with several horses at the start of the race.

After receiving criticism from horseplayers, Chaney famously stated that he knew nothing about handicapping.
