SUMMARY
Economics
The State Treasury deposited $1,318,520.18 into the State General Revenue Fund directly from pari-mutuel
wagering taxes from (Fiscal Year) FY-2010, an 19.98% decrease from FY-2009. An additional
$13,817,505.07 was deposited to the State General Revenue Fund directly from Gaming Revenue for FY-
2010, a .33% increase from FY-2009, making the total for FY-2010 $15,136,025.25. Total direct collections
of $143,336,400.92 from such taxes have been deposited to the State General Revenue Fund since Blue
Ribbon Downs, Oklahoma's first pari-mutuel racetrack, began racing on August 30, 1984 (15 months after the
Oklahoma Horse Racing Act was implemented).
Revenues to the Horse Racing Commission, apart from the pari-mutuel tax during FY-2010, for deposit
to the State General Revenue Fund were derived principally from fines, sale of Rule Books, and occupation and
organization license fees. In addition, local and county governments, and the State received racing revenues
from racetrack admission, sales, and property taxes. Such taxes are collected by the Oklahoma Tax
Commission. A detailed accounting of Commission Revenue and Expenditures for FY-2010 is listed at the end
of this report.
A 2005 study released by the American Horse Council Foundation (AHC) has reported the State horse
population at approximately 326,000. As a result of the study conducted by AHC entitled The Economic Impact
of the Oklahoma Horse Industry the following information is provided:
1. Oklahoma’s combined horse racing enterprises make up an extremely large and important
contribution to the state’s economy.
2. Direct and total effect on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for horse racing is equal to approximately
$220,000,000.
3 42,000 horses are estimated to be involved in Oklahoma race production and use.
4. The Oklahoma Equine Industry involves 118,000 Oklahomans among them 61,000 horse owners.
5. GDP for the combined racetrack production and indirect and induced effects totaled $219
million. Employment estimates suggest that these enterprises account for a combined total of
more than 4,200 full-time equivalent jobs.
Horse racing activities are only one of several equine-related enterprises in Oklahoma. According to
the American Horse Council study, the state horse industry generates 31,600 jobs and an annual economic
impact of $1.2 billion. The Oklahoma horse industry was estimated to have a direct and total effect on GDP of
$1,248 million during the AHC study period. The AHC study estimated that more than 118,000 Oklahomans
are involved in the industry as owners, service providers, employees, and volunteers not including the
spectator effect of the industry.

THAT IMPACTED THE HORSE RACING INDUSTRY
AND/OR HORSE RACING COMMISSION
BILLS AMENDING TITLE 3A, OKLAHOMA HORSE RACING ACT
SB 820, co-authored by Sen. Jonathan Nichols and Rep. Randy Terrill, amended Section 208.3, Oklahoma

Governor Henry signed the legislation on May 10, 2010. It took effect November 1, 2010.
SB 1905, co-authored by Sen. Harry Coates, Sen. Debbe Leftwich and Rep. Don Armes, amended the following
four Sections of the Horse Racing Act, requiring that all monies retained or to be distributed for purses at
racetracks be held in trust by the Horsemen’s Bookkeeper for the duly designated horsemen’s organization for

205.7: Wagering on Out-of-State Races
208.2: Race Meetings Conducted by Fair Associations-Proportions of Wagers Retained-Licenses
The bill also added new language to be codified as Section 208.13 to list duties of the Horsemen’s
Bookkeeper as follows:
Be employed by (1) the racetrack, (2) jointly by two or more racetracks, or (3) an entity contracting
with one of more racetracks
Maintain records of horsemen, kept separate from the racetrack’s records with funds to be
maintained in one or more trust accounts, separate from all other accounts, designated as
Horsemen’s Trust Account, and fully insured by the FDIC or FSLIC
Receive, maintain and disburse purses with disbursements made within 48 hours of Stewards’
approval unless a protest or appeal has been filed with the Stewards or Commission except for
minimum jockey mount fees; and made within 15 days after the last race day of the race meeting
Accept, hold or pay monies due and belonging to other organizations, licensees or meeting provided
payment or return is made
Make all records subject to inspection and audit by the Horse Racing Commission at any time
In addition, the Horsemen’s Bookkeeper, racetrack and employer are subject to disciplinary action by the
Commission. The Horsemen’s Bookkeeper, employer, and managing officers of each employer are jointly and
severally responsible to ensure that the amounts retained from the pari-mutuel handle are distributed
according to the Act and Commission orders and rules.
Governor Henry signed the legislation on June 6, 2010. It takes effect November 1, 2010.

REPORT
This report reviews general activities of the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission during CY 2010 and
fiscal activities during FY 2010 (July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010).
Introduction
State Question 553 (Initiative Petition 315) adopted at an election held on September 21, 1982,
authorized the pari-mutuel system of wagering on horse races in Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Horse Racing Act, Title 3A, Chapter 2 of the Oklahoma Statutes, was enacted with an
Emergency Provision and became effective March 22, 1983.
The State-Tribal Gaming Act became effective after State Question 712 on November 2, 2004.
Provisions
SB 1058 increased the Commission from seven to nine members who are appointed by the Governor
with confirmation by the State Senate for six-year terms. Initial appointments allowed for two-year staggered
terms. During 2010, Commissioners and their terms were as follows:
Terms Expiring June 30, 2011
Cassie Barkett, Congressional District 1
Patrick Grimmett, Congressional District 3
Melvin Bollenbach, At Large
Terms Expiring June 30, 2013 Terms Expiring June 30, 2015
Wayne Carter, Congressional District 2 Jim Bowers, Congressional District 4
Malcolm Savage, Congressional District 5 Becky Goumaz, Congressional District 3
John Smicklas, At Large Brandon Burton, Congressional District 5
The Oklahoma Horse Racing Act provides that horse racing under the pari-mutuel system of wagering
may be authorized by a majority of voters in a county voting in an election called for that purpose. At least
fifteen such elections have been held. Voters in twelve counties have voted to authorize pari-mutuel horse
racing (Beckham, Comanche, Creek, Garfield, Lincoln, Love, Marshall, Oklahoma, Okmulgee, Rogers,
Sequoyah, and Tulsa). Voters in Atoka County voted once not to authorize, and voters in Carter County voted
twice not to authorize.
The Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission has plenary power to promulgate rules and regulations for
the forceful control of race meetings held in the State so as to:
1. Encourage agriculture and the breeding of horses in this State; and
2. Maintain race meetings held in this State of the highest quality and free of any horse
racing practices which are corrupt, incompetent, dishonest, or unprincipled; and
3. Dissipate any cloud of association with the undesirable and maintain the appearance as
well as the fact of complete honesty and integrity of horse racing in this State; and
4. Generate public revenues.

Law Enforcement/Occupation Licenses
In CY 2010, the Commission issued occupation racing licenses to 8,814 persons, including identification badges.
Some 32 classes of licenses were issued (e.g., Owners, Trainers, Owner/Trainers, Jockeys, Grooms, Mutuel Clerks,
and Vendors). In addition, the Commission processed 1,125 multiple ownership registrations. Occupation licenses
are issued annually except that certain license categories (Owner, Trainer, Owner/Trainer, Jockey, Apprentice Jockey,
Blacksmith, and Veterinarian) may purchase triennial licenses (licenses valid for three years).
Two FTE licensing personnel were employed in the main Commission office during 2010. In addition to processing all
license applications including those received by mail, these staff members made all computer licensing database
entries. In order to better serve horsemen and racing in general, these FTE licensing personnel occasionally assisted
in licensing offices at the racetracks.
The Racing Commissioners International (RCI), consisting of fifty-two member jurisdictions and seven associate
members, maintains a computer-based information service. This information is accessible to the Commission
through a secured Internet website. The file contains the names, addresses, other identifying characteristics, and
racing rule violation records of persons who have been issued occupation licenses by the RCI member jurisdictions.
Since 1984, the Commission has entered Oklahoma data on license issuances, denials, suspensions, revocations
and fines into such a computer file. In this way, data are brought together for occupation licensees from participating
racing jurisdictions which enable the jurisdictions to better maintain the integrity of racing through reciprocity
acknowledgment of a licensee's racing record.
Commission license offices at the racetracks utilizes intranet and internet computer programs which enables
retrieval of license information on a 24-hour basis from the main license database at the Commission office in
Oklahoma City and from the RCI database. It is also possible to link a specific license with other areas of activity in
which a person may be involved, such as lease agreements, multiple ownerships, or dual licenses.
The Oklahoma Horse Racing Act and the organizational plan adopted by the Commission provides for a Law
Enforcement Division which is responsible for conducting investigations relating to the proper conduct of horse racing
and the pari-mutuel system of wagering, including but not limited to barring undesirables from horse racing,
undercover investigations, fingerprinting persons licensed by the Commission, and reviewing license applications. A

ORDERS
Race meetings generate infractions of OHRC Rules of Racing. Rule violations that occur during race
meetings require Boards of Stewards to conduct hearings, to make Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and
to issue Stewards' Orders. During 2010, Boards of Stewards issued 389 Orders. Of those Orders, one was
appealed or referred to the Commission for Commission determination. Appeals to the Commission, when
they occur, are costly in terms of time and expense to the Office of the Attorney General, as well as to the
Commission and the respondents, but nonetheless provide protection of individual due process rights.
Orders are issued in the following ways:
1. Orders issued by a Board of Stewards;
2. Commission Orders issued when Orders by Stewards are referred or appealed to
the Commission;
3. Commission Orders concerning refusal to issue, denial, revocation, suspension,
termination of occupation, organization licenses and granting of organization
licenses and assessment of fines; and
4. Commission Orders issued when determinations by the Oklahoma-Bred
Registering Agency are referred or appealed to the Commission.

Equine Drug Testing
As a historical note, the Oklahoma City Police Department Laboratory performed all routine equine
drug testing for Commission-sanctioned racing from January 1990 through June 30, 2000. Upon dissolution of
the OCPDL equine drug testing program, Truesdail Laboratories, located in Tustin, California, being the
successful state primary laboratory contract bidder, began performing these drug tests effective July 1, 2001.
Beginning July 1, 2005, Industrial Laboratories of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, became the OHRC primary lab.
Texas A & M, University of Pennsylvania, Louisiana State University and the Michigan Department of Agriculture
perform split sample drug testing. CY 2010 Commission-sanctioned racing activity resulted in the following 51
positive drug reports, including 12 Furosemide overages and 10 Phenylbutazone overages.

Oklahoma-Bred Program
(3A O.S., Section 208 et seq.)
Pursuant to provisions of the Oklahoma Horse Racing Act, the Oklahoma-Bred Program is
administered by the Commission and is the State of Oklahoma's financial incentive to the breeding and racing
of accredited Oklahoma-Bred horses.
The Commission authorizes the types and minimum number of accredited Oklahoma-Bred races, as
well as the amounts of added purse money and stallion and broodmare awards paid to recipients. The
Program is funded through revenue generated by all breakage and unclaimed ticket proceeds from wagering
handle, and from a direct percentage of wagering handle, funds generated pursuant to Legislation enacted in
1991 (SB 198) and continued in 1995 through the provisions of SB 111. Senate Bill 198 and Senate Bill 111
reduced the State's tax percentage of takeout from wagering handle and increased the percentage to
horsemen's purses and to the Oklahoma-Bred Program. The seventeenth full year in which additional purse
funds were generated in accordance with this legislation was in 2010. All Oklahoma-Bred Program proceeds
are remitted directly to the Commission for deposit with the Office of the State Treasurer to the credit of the
Oklahoma Breeding Development Fund Special Account.
Since the first Oklahoma-Bred race was run on August 30, 1984 and through CY 2010, the
Commission has paid added purse money, and stallion and broodmare awards amounting to approximately
$57.7 million to eligible owners of accredited Oklahoma-Bred racing stock, broodmares, and stallions.
The Commission assumed the duties and functions of the official Registering Agency by electing to
bring the Oklahoma-Bred registration process in-house and off state bid contract effective January 1, 1992.
The Registering Agency registers accredited Oklahoma-Bred racing stock, stallions, and broodmares for
eligibility to receive purse supplements and stallion and broodmare awards as authorized by the Commission
from the proceeds of the Oklahoma Breeding Development Fund Special Account. Registration fees for horses
in the Oklahoma-Bred Program, which are among the lowest in the nation, are set by Commission rule and
were deposited by the Commission into the State General Fund through June 30, 1999. SB 1365 amended 3A
O.S. § 208.3 to provide that the registration fees be deposited into the Oklahoma Breeding Development Fund
Special Account, effective July 1, 1999. The following fee schedule was in effect during 2010:

The Commission’s Oklahoma-Bred registration department, the official Registering Agency, receives
registration applications, reviews each application for completeness and eligibility, and subsequently registers
qualifying horses into the Program. The Registering Agency also keeps abreast of current breed registries'
requirements (Quarter horse, Thoroughbred, Paint, Appaloosa, Arabian, and Pinto).
During CY 2010, 3,219 horses were registered into the Oklahoma-Bred Program and during FY-2010
$207,288 (compared to $251,200 in FY-2009) in Oklahoma-Bred registration and ownership transfer fees
were collected by the Commission and deposited to the Oklahoma Breeding Development Fund Special
Account. Of the horses registered into the Oklahoma-Bred Program during 2010, 2,100 were Racing Stock,
1,044 were Broodmares and 75 were Stallions.
All payments from the Oklahoma Breeding Development Fund Special Account to breeders and
owners are made by the Commission, as has been the case since 1984. Upon receipt of race day reports from
the Commission, the Registering Agency verifies the accredited Oklahoma-Bred eligibility of win, place, and
show racing stock and of broodmares and sires of those horses. Upon final Commission verification, claims for
the authorized amount of purse supplements, stallion and broodmare awards are prepared by Commission
staff; and state vouchers (checks) are distributed by the Commission directly to eligible recipient owners and
breeders. During 2010, the Commission processed 8,370 checks to eligible recipient owners and breeders.
Breakage, unclaimed tickets, and revenue from SB 198 and SB 111 provisions totaling $666,666.68
for Oklahoma-Bred purse supplements, stallion and broodmare awards accrued to the Fund during CY 2010
from respective racetracks as follows:

administration of the Oklahoma-Bred Program; and for an annual audit of the Oklahoma-Bred Program
conducted by the Office of the State Auditor and Inspector.

in which added purse supplements, stallion and broodmare awards could have been earned by eligible
participants, as follows:
