SUMMARY
Economics
The State Treasury deposited $2,821,899,58 into the State General Revenue Fund directly from parimutuel wagering taxes from Fiscal Year (FY) 2004, a 1,04% increase from FY 2004, Total direct collections of
$81.182,522,52 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 2004, 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 2004 is listed on pages
33 and 34 of this report,
Oklahoma State University (OSU) has reported the State horse population at approximately 400,000
which equates to one horse per 8,25 people, This ratio has established Oklahoma as the leading state in
horse population per capita,
As a result of a four-year study conducted by its departments of agricultural
econom'lcs and animal science, OSU released the following information on April 1. 1997 entitled OSU Current
Report-3918 A Demographics and Economic Impact of the Horse Racing Industry in Oklahoma,
1,
Oklahoma'S combined horse racing enterprises make up an extremely large and important
contribution to the state's economy,
2,
Economic demand based on the combined racetrack, production, and fan sectors of Oklahoma's
race horse industry total nearly $332 million,
3
42,000 horses are estimated to be involved in Oklahoma race production and use,
4,
Owners of Oklahoma racehorses total about 3,700 persons, with average investments of
$250,000 in land, buildings, facilities, equipment, and animals, The 1,850 persons identified as
racehorse trainers had average investments of $183,000 in land, faCilities, machinery, tack, and
animals.
5,
Gross state product for the combined racetrack production and fan sectors totaled nearly $189
million, Employment estimates suggest that these enterprises account for a combined total of
more than 11,800 full-time equivalent jobs,
Horse racing activities are only one of several equine-related enterprises in Oklahoma,
According to an
American Horse Council (AHC) study, estimates of the national horse industry's effect on the Oklahoma
economy suggest a $3,3 billion effect. The Oklahoma horse industry was estimated to produce goods and
seryices of more than $760 million during the AHC study period, The AHC study estimated that more than
214,000 Oklahomans are involved in the industry as owners, service providers, employees, and volunteers not
including the spectator effect of the industry,

Legislation
During the Second Session of the 49 th Oklahoma Legislature (2004), The State-Tribal Gaming Act,
Senate Bill 1252, passed through the Legislature and was signed by Governor Brad Henry.
Provisions of
Senate Bill 1252 required that, before the Gaming Act could become a law, a public referendum, Legislative
Referendum 335, State Question 712 would have to be passed. State Question 712 passed by a nearly 60%
to 40% margin in the General Election held November 2, 2004 and became effective law November 9, 2004
on certification of the election results. Among the provisions of the Gaming Act, Remington Park, Blue Ribbon
Downs and Will Rogers Downs are allowed to offer "authorized games" at their respective racetracks.
In
addition, Fair Meadows at Tulsa, although not allowed to conduct gaming, could become a "Recipient
Licensee" and thereby receive revenue for Fair Meadows and horsemen's purses from tribal gaming occurring
within 20 miles of Fair Meadows. The Horse Racing Commission is required by the Gaming Act to provide
regulation, implementation and enforcement of the authorized gaming at the racetracks.
Races. Purses. Incentives
Calendar Year (CY) 2004 was the twenty-first year of pari-mutuel horse racing in Oklahoma. The Office
of the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector reports that there were 136,993 official races (+14%) including

which 425,428 race fans (-6%) wagered $127,197,354 (-9,4%). Attendance at organization licensees' offTrack wagering facilities in Oklahoma is not recorded by the racetracks and therefore not included in the above
attendance figure. The percentages of change shown above are in relation to CY 2003.

Law Enforcement/Occupation Licenses
In CY 2004, the Commission issued occupation licenses to 6,766 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 788 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 2004, 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 North American Pari-Mutuel Regulators Association (NAPRA) consisting of twenty-six member
jurisdictions, 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
NAPRA member jurisd·,ctions. 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 is 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 utilize a dial-up computer program which enables
retrieval of license information on a 24-hour basis from the license database at the Commission office in
Oklahoma City and from the NAPRA database, The NAPRA licensing database program provides fast retrieval
regarding licensure and ruling information.
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 2004 activity report and some prior year comparisons for the Division follows:

Possible Make·Up Days: TO BE DETERMINED
'Al the November 20, 2003 meeting. the Commission approved Fair Meadows' request that the June 16 race date be changed
to July 14, changing one Wednesday to another Wednesday, to avoid a major conflict with the Tulsa AA baseball team. This
change resulted in the Tulsa County Fair being 8 live race days in length and the Tulsa State Fair being 22 live race days in
length.
2At the March 18, 2004 meeting, the Commission approved Remington Park's request for the cancellation of nine race days
(July 30, 31; August 1, 2, 9; October 2, 9, 16, 23) and the addition of nine substitute race days (October 1, 8, 15, 22, 29;
November 22; December 3, 4, 5) during its Fall Thoroughbred race meeting.
3 Blue
Ribbon Downs advised the Commission 3/24/04 that it was cancelling Friday, March 26, as a live race day due to
insufficient entries.
4Blue Ribbon Downs advised the Commission 4/5/04 that it was cancelling Sunday, April 11, as a live race day due to it being
Easter Sunday with historically low handle and attendance numbers.
5 Blue
Ribbon Downs advised the Commission 4/6/04 that it was cancelling the remainder of the Friday live race days (April 16,
23, and 30) for the first Mixed Breed race meeting due to short fields over a three day weekend, hurting handle and purses for
overnight races.
6Remington Park advised the Commission 7/30/04 that it had inadvertently shown in its advertising and schedules that
Monday, August 9,2004, would be a live race day (rather than deleting it as approved at the March 18,2004 Commission
meeting) and had inadvertently not listed November 22, 2004 (rather than adding it as approved at the March Commission
meeting). The Commission Executive Director approved the requested change in the two days on 8/5/04 rather than place the
matter on the agenda for the next Commission meeting scheduled for August 27 since the meeting will occur after the August
9 live race date and the total number of live race days (65) for the straight Thoroughbred race meeting did not change.

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 2004, Boards of Stewards issued 248 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.
2.
3.
4.
Orders issued by a Board of Stewards;
Commission Orders issued when Orders by Stewards are referred or appealed to
the Commission;
Commission Orders concerning refusal to issue, denial, revocation, suspension,
termination of occupation, organization licenses and granting of organization
licenses and assessment of fines; and
Commission Orders issued when determinations by the Oklahoma-Bred
Registering Agency are referred or appealed to the Commission.

Oklahoma-Bred Program
(3A O.S., Section 20S 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 brood mare 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. 2004 was the twelfth full year in which additional
purse funds were generated in accordance with this legislation.
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 2004, the
Commission has paid added purse money, and stallion and broodmare awards amounting to $37.1 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 brood mare 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 2004.

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 2004, 2,782 (5% increase from CY,2003) horses were registered into the Oklahoma,Bred
Program and during FY,2004 $123,342 (compared to $130,059.75 in FY,2003) 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 2004,
1,827 were Racing Stock, 867 were Broodmares and 88 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 brood mares 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 2004, the Commission processed 5,975 checks to eligible recipient owners and breeders.
Breakage,
unclaimed tickets, and revenue from
SB
198 and
SB 111 provisions totaling

In addition to purse supplements, stallion and broodmare awards, statutory authority is provided to the
Commission to authorize monies for equine research through State institutions accredited for same. The
Commission approved a grant to the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oklahoma State University (OSU) of
$45,000.00 from the Oklahoma-Bred Program funds for the Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Program.
The
Oklahoma Horse Racing Act also authorizes the Commission to approve expenditures from the Fund for
marketing, promoting, and advertising the Oklahoma-Bred Program; for the Commission's (State's) costs of
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.
A total of 1,330 accredited Oklahoma-Bred races were run during 2004 (compared to 1,161 in 2003)
in which added purse supplements, stallion and brood mare awards could have been earned by eligible
participants, as follows:

As of December 31, 2004, there were 72,800 horses registered as accredited Oklahoma-Breds. In
addition, approximately 1,790 incomplete applications that require additional information from the applicants
await final processing. The registration department reports that no new applications remain to be processed
which were received by the broodmare and weanling 2004 year-end deadlines. Each year the Commission
presents year-end trophy awards to owners and breeders of accredited Oklahoma-Bred Champions.
