Utah
Horse Racing Commission
In
1992, the Utah Legislature passed the Utah Horse Racing Act that established
a regulatory process for monitoring the horse racing industry. A five-member
commission is appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate that
oversees the process and makes periodic changes based on needs or industry
input.
UDAF administers the Act because of its importance to the market
value of Utah horses. Commission sanctioned tracks and races are important
in establishing recognized times for Utah quarter horses. During the
past year, nearly half of the horses running on sanctioned tracks received
Rating of Merit (ROM), an index that helps establish horse values and
stud fees. Without Utah's regulatory system and commission to oversee
the State's Quarter Horse races, the races and associated times would
not be recognized by national and international groups. This would result
in the loss of millions of dollars of value to our horse industry.
