Ohio horse racing is a proud tradition. But Ohio horsemen face unfair odds that are killing the business and sport.

Ohio horse racing is falling to the back of the pack among surrounding states and the rest of the country. Race purse prizes rank low in Ohio, and there’s no way for them to compete with higher purses at tracks supported by extra gaming money.

Horse breeders are pulling up stakes in Ohio to move to states where they can make more money. The jobs they provide are leaving with them. The best horses are racing outside Ohio for higher potential winnings – and as star performers leave Ohio tracks, there’s less reason to get excited about spending a day at the races.
