Oklahoma-Bred Paint Horse Program
The Oklahoma-Bred Program is a state-bred incentive program that awards money to the owners of sires and dams of Oklahoma-bred racehorses that are registered in the program. Money for this program comes from the Oklahoma Racing Commission, collected as breakage and unclaimed ticket proceeds, and accrue to the Oklahoma Breeding Development Fund Special Account as purse supplements, stakes and rewards to owners of Oklahoma-bred racehorses registered in the Oklahoma-Bred Program. These races are run at Commission-licensed pari-mutuel racetracks.

All broodmares must be registered in the Permanent Broodmare Registry prior to foaling an Oklahoma-Bred-eligible foal. For resulting foals to be eligible for accreditation as an Oklahoma-Bred, except under late application conditions, the stallion must be registered in the Permanent Stallion Registry by February 1 of the breeding season that produces the resulting foal. Racing stock may register in the Racing Stock Registry by December 31 of the year of the horse’s birth with a fee of $25. Other racing stock registering by June 1 of their yearling year must pay a $50 fee. The registration fee is $500 for all other racing stock registered through December 31 of the horse’s 3-year-old year. On or after January 1 of their 4-year-old year, the registration fee is $1,000.

Accredited Oklahoma-Bred racing stock are not automatically registered as such. Accredited racing stock not transferred to the Permanent Broodmare Registry prior to foaling an otherwise eligible foal may now be registered in the Permanent Broodmare Registry under the new Hardship Rules, and the foal is still eligible to be registered. The racing secretary at each racetrack is required to write and offer no less than an average of two (2) races each day for accredited Oklahoma-Bred horses. In addition, accredited Oklahoma-Bred horses that finish first, second or third in Open races, excepting trial races, at a pari-mutuel racetrack, may be eligible to receive owner, breeder, and stallion awards authorized by the Commission.
