OK BRED PROGRAM

The Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission administers the Oklahoma Bred
Program. They perform the functions of accreditation for Racing Stock,
Broodmares and Stallions. They also issue monetary rewards to breeders
and/or owners after the horse qualifies for an award. In 2009 Oklahoma
Bred supplements which were paid out totaled approx $3.25 million dollars,
a significant increase.

Money is available in purses at each racetrack and additional awards for
breeders and stallion owners.

At all tracks in Oklahoma the Oklahoma Bred funds are divided 50% to purses and 50% to breeders awards. The breeders money is split 34% to broodmares and 16% to stallions.

Oklahoma Bred money is also available to Stakes races restricted to Oklahoma
Bred accredited horses.

For additional see the Oklahoma Horse Racing website at www.ohrc.org.
