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.

Will Rogers Downs Quarter Horse, Paint and Appaloosa Purse Scale
Many of you know that this year has been a tough year. However, our horsemen and women have yet again shown how tough and resilient you all are in the face of adversity. We have seen a chain of unprecedented events and circumstances that have affected the worldwide economy, and you continue to get up each day and move forward without question. Horse racing has overcome because of our people and the tenacity that is part of our heritage.
Years ago, OQHRA’s Board of Directors decided to create a reserve account in the case that there were ever catastrophes that prohibited casinos from funding any of the horsemen’s purse accounts in Oklahoma. With this foresight, decision, and ultimate action, the people of OQHRA were aptly prepared for the financial issues brought on by COVID-19.
Today, it is a true pleasure to announce that because of the preparedness of OQHRA, we have not had to cancel any meets, and will be racing at Will Rogers Downs with little-to-no reductions over 2019. We will be kicking off this meet with no reduction for Quarter Horse purses and only a ten percent reduction for Paints and Appaloosas. Had OQHRA not established the reserve policy, we would be looking at a potential reduction of purses of up to 45% in order to not overpay available monies.
It has always been a priority of OQHRA’s Board of Directors to serve the association’s membership with fiscal conservatism in order to ensure the longevity of year-round Quarter Horse, Paint & Appaloosa Racing within the great state of Oklahoma. This of course could not be accomplished without our incredible horsemen and women that walk through adversity, as we have seen this year. We look forward to continuing to serve you through all circumstances.
