Rulemaking

Current Notices:

Attached is the temporary rule filing that amends OAR 462-150-0010 (5)(a) regarding official workouts for Thoroughbreds. - EFFECTIVE UPON FILING 8/22/2025 and to remain in effect through 2/17/2026.

The temporary amendment has been filed due to discontinued racing at Northern California tracks where required official workouts ordinarily could be completed after the Tillamook and prior to the Grants Pass, OR race meets. Recognizing the hardship, the ORC approved the amended number of days so that all Thoroughbreds that need official published workouts can complete them within the eligibility timeframe.

The temporary rule will extend the time from 30 to 45 days, making it possible for horses that need official published workouts to complete them.
