More about Paint Horse racing
Horse racing has long been one of America’s favorite spectator
sports. With the recent growth of the Paint Horse breed, it’s no
wonder that Paints have become one of the hottest tickets in the
horse racing industry.
Since 1966, when APHA officially recognized the sport, Paint racing
has made major strides forward. In that inaugural year, 17 starters
ran for $1,290 in just two states—Texas and Oklahoma. In 2005, more
than 600 starters competed in more than 800 APHA-recognized races for
purses totaling more than $5.1 million.
A total of 18 states now feature Paint racing, including Arizona,
California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota,
Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Paint Horses also race in Canada.
“The future is really bright for Paint racing,” said Lex Smurthwaite,
APHA’s executive director. “Owners from other racing breeds are
getting involved with Paints because of the strong and steady growth
of our program. It is still relatively easy to get involved and be
competitive.”
