The Kentucky Equine Education Project said the Kentucky General Assembly has passed HB 453, which clears the way for implementation of the breeder awards program for non-race breeds once the bill is signed by the governor. The governor’s signature, expected by June, will allow the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority to approve regulations for each breed that applied. Distribution of funds totaling about $1 million is expected to begin later this year. Each breed organization will be responsible for presenting details of its particular program to its membership, as approved by the racing authority.
