Kudos to the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission, who met and approved a plan that will provide funding for retraining and care of retired and unwanted Oklahoma-bred exracers. The funds were originally slated for the Oklahoma Breeding Development Fund Special Account, of which some will now be used for retraining. The plan must still be approved by the Oklahoma legislature.
