Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission
Oklahoma-Breeding Development Program
What is the Oklahoma Breeding
and Development Fund Special Account?
The OBDFSA is an incentive fund which increases income for
Oklahoma horse racing and breeding enterprises. Purse
supplements, stallion and broodmare awards are paid to owners and
breeders of qualifying accredited Oklahoma-Bred horses through a
system of restricted and open company races at Oklahoma
racetracks. The OBDFSA is funded by unclaimed tickets, breakage
and a percentage of the exotic handle. Payouts are based on the
handle at each track and vary slightly according to the track and
the racing breed. The Program was established by the Legislature
in 1983 and, as is required by law, administered by the Oklahoma
Horse Racing Commission.
What is an accredited
Oklahoma-Bred horse?
An accredited Oklahoma-Bred horse
is one that is foaled in Oklahoma, is out of a permanently
domiciled, accredited Oklahoma-Bred broodmare and is sired by an
accredited Oklahoma-Bred stallion. Additionally, in alternating
years, for Quarter Horses, Paints, and Appaloosas, foals by
non-accredited stallions may be registered as accredited
Oklahoma-Bred, providing all other requirements are met (refer to
Chapter 75,Oklahoma-Bred Rules). Beginning with foals of 2001, a
Thoroughbred foal out of an accredited Oklahoma-Bred Thoroughbred
broodmare may be registered as accredited Oklahoma-Bred,
regardless of standing location and accreditation status of the
stallion, providing all other requirements are met. More than 70,168 horses have been registered as accredited Oklahoma-Bred
racing stock, broodmares, and stallions through December 31, 2005. Please refer to Chapter
75, Oklahoma-Bred Program, in the
Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission Rules of Racing or contact the OHRC home office at (405) 943-6472.
What opportunities are there to
earn Oklahoma-Bred money?
Each Commission-licensed racetrack
in Oklahoma is required to offer as race conditions no less than
two Oklahoma-Bred restricted races per day. In addition, tracks
offer Oklahoma-Bred money in open company races on an "if
eligible" basis when funds allow, and each track offers at
least two stakes races restricted to accredited Oklahoma-Bred
horses. Some open stakes races offer Oklahoma-Bred purse
supplements if eligible. Each time an accredited Oklahoma-Bred
earns a purse supplement, the breeder and stallion owner earn
Oklahoma-Bred awards.
How much can an accredited Oklahoma-Bred earn?
As much as $3.2 million has been paid in one year to owners, breeders and stallion owners of accredited Oklahoma-Bred horses. Oklahoma state law provides for the incentive funds and prescribes the purposes for which the money will be paid out by the Commission. Owners, breeders and stallion owners have earned in excess of $38 million from the inception of the Program in 1984. For complete information regarding Program rules and requirements please refer to Chapter 75, Oklahoma-Bred Program, in the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission Rules of Racing or contact the OHRC home office at (405) 943-6472.
DID YOU KNOW?
That beginning in July 1999 by statute all registration fees collected from accredited Oklahoma-Bred horses is deposited to the Oklahoma Breeding Development Fund Special Account instead of to the State of Oklahoma General Revenue Fund.
That on November 16, 2000 the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission approved the transfer of funds from registration fees collected (from July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000) to be used as additional Oklahoma-Bred purse supplements at all Commission licensed racetracks. $159,663.00 (less the statutory allowed 10% administrative fee) was split among the tracks based on the percentage of total races per breed per track. The following amounts by track were made available for use in the 2007 racing season:
| Blue Ribbon Downs |
$ 42,150.40
|
| Remington Park |
$ 77,106.20

| Fair Meadows at Tulsa |
