The FTBOA champions Florida’s Thoroughbred breeding and racing industry through legislative leadership. Since the inception of slots-at-racetracks we have repeatedly defeated legislation that would decouple gaming revenues from racing. We fought for, secured and defend more than $36 million in annual state investments for the promotion of our industry. And, we safeguard the industry’s future with Florida’s sole remaining Thoroughbred racing permit. We ensure that Florida remains one of North America’s most competitive breeding states with leading financial incentives.

Through lucrative breeder, stallion and export incentives, the annual $1.2 million Florida Sire Stakes 2yo series, and industry-leading digital services at FTBOA.com, we’ve built the Florida-bred legacy. 31 Breeders’ Cup victories, six Kentucky Derby winners, and 188 millionaire runners. Florida-breds perennially rank as the nation’s most valuable state-bred crop by wins and auction market value.

We built this legacy. We defend it. We are its future.
