Ohio State Racing Commission News
| The Ohio State Racing Commission was created in 1933 after the General Assembly approved pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing. The commission currently employs 28 people full and part-time. Eleven work at its Columbus headquarters. Others, including judges, stewards, investigators, inspectors and veterinarians, work at seven commercial racetracks and at county fairs where wagering takes place. Members of the commission meet monthly to conduct business, approve racing dates, decide matters of racing importance, and mete out penalties to licensees found in violation of racing rules and law. Meetings are held in downtown Columbus during winter months and at most or all of the commercial tracks during the remainder of the year.
