Application and Renewal Forms
The Ohio Thoroughbred Race Fund (OTRF) began in November of 1965, authorized
by the passage of sections 3769.08 and 3769.083 of the Ohio Revised Code in
the 106th General Assembly. The goal of the ORTF was the promotion of Ohio's thoroughbred
horse racing and breeding industry through the creation of incentives for
owners to race horses bred or foaled in the state. Since, almost 27,000
Ohio-eligible horses have been foaled. Approximately 6,000 thoroughbred sires
and mares reside in the state.
The OTRF program, is comprised of broodmare and
stallion awards, open allowance supplements for Ohio-bred horses winning in
open competition at Ohio
tracks, and purses for stakes and races exclusively for Ohio-bred
thoroughbreds. The fund's annual expenditures amount to approximately $3.03
million. The fund also supports promotion of the state's thoroughbred
industry.
