ATB Program
To encourage the breeding of horses in Texas, any Accredited Texas-Bred Racehorse finishing first, second or third in any Texas pari-mutuel race (except stakes races restricted to Accredited Texas-Bred horses) shall receive a purse supplement.
Approximately $1 million is distributed yearly through the Accredited Texas Bred Awards Program.
According to the Texas Racing Act, on every racing day, an association (track) shall provide for the running of at least two races limited to Accredited Texas-Bred horses, one of which shall be restricted to maidens.
