Arabian Racing Association of California

California state law to promote agricultural business, as well as horse racing, within the state, provides the Cal-Bred Incentive Premium Awards program. The purpose of the program is to add an incentive to breed and race Arabian horses in California. Each time a registered Cal-Bred runs first or second in a race within the state, the horse earns cash awards for its owner, its breeder and its sire’s owners. The Arabian Racing Association of California (ARAC) is the official administrator of the Cal-Bred Awards program. The cash awards are generated by the money wagered on the Arabian races run in the state and are distributed on a yearly basis.

Texas Arabian Breeders Association

ABA… A Breed Organization with Official Status

Since the State of Texas offers pari-mutuel wagering on Arabian races with racetracks around the state hosting races for our breed, the Arabian horse is written into the Texas Racing Act as a racing breed along with the Thoroughbred, Quarter horse, Appaloosa and Paint. The Texas Arabian Breeders Association (TABA) is the organization mandated by the Texas Racing Commission to oversee the Accredited Texas Bred Program (ATB) for Arabian racehorses, a breeder incentive program.

Managing with Active Members and an Elected Board

Additionally, TABA manages Arabian racing in the state with a well organized Board of Governors who meet on a regular basis throughout the year. At these meetings, the board discusses all aspects of Texas Arabian racing and plans accordingly. The board implements those plans to make Texas Arabian racing an ever improving opportunity for those involved. For example, TABA promotes the Arabian breed and enhances the experience of Arabian horse ownership via sponsored racetrack festivities and educational seminars.

Dedicated to Arabian Horse Racing

Even in challenging conditions of the horse industry over the last decade, Texas Arabian racing has performed quite well. Growth in purses and expansion of Arabian racing to participation at more Texas tracks has been a result of TABA’s relentless efforts. We have continued to strengthen both the Arabian breed’s position in the racing industry, and the popularity of the racing discipline within the Purebred Arabian market. We are optimistic about capturing a greater share of purse monies for the Arabian breed at the racetracks, and will continue to make good progress for more racing opportunities. With a solid platform for growth, Arabian racing´s innovative leaders are on track to attract more Arabian racing participants.

Even through difficult times (winning a race is fun, but you can’t win ’em all) dedicated members of the Texas racing community have remained steadfast in their commitment to the Arabian breed.
