OQHRA has served as your representative since 1997. As your representative they serve
your best interests by:
- Monitoring purse accounts, simulcast agreements and Parimutuel distributions.
Handling concerns and complaints from horsemen relating to the actual conduct of the live race meeting including stabling, track condition, facilities and much more.
Working with racing secretaries, racetrack management and racing official regarding conditions, or other eligibility questions, enforcement, and compliance issues
relating to licensees at the track.
- Administering at each track benevolent, medical, dental and financing assistance programs for backside workers and horsemen.
- Providing input to commission staff relative to the interests and concerns of horsemen regarding enforcement, growth and regulatory issues.
- Providing administrative support, leadership and financial assistance for the Horsemen's Track Committee at each track where OQHRA is the elected horsemen's representative. At each Oklahoma Racetrack the Horsemen's committee is
comprised of participating owners and trainers to consider issues relative to racing
at that track. OQHRA maintains a fully equipped and staffed office at Remington
Park during the Quarter Horse/Mixed Meet and at Fair Meadows during the Mixed Meet to provide assistance and information for participating horsemen. In
addition, a full time horsemen's representative is employed by OQHRA to assist
the horsemen's committee at Blue Ribbon Downs year around.
- Working closely with the track and the Parimutuel division of the State Auditor and Inspectors office to see that horsemen receive the maximum amount of money generated for purses during each race meeting.
