About Ohio Fair Racing Conference (OFRC)

The OFRC was established to simplify the staking process for horsemen, to reduce the complexity of administering the racing program by Fair Boards and to increase harness racing participation at the fairs.

The OFRC has an eight-member board: four appointed by the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association (OHHA) and four appointed by the Ohio Fair Managers Association (OFMA).

Regional Coordinators Bill Peters and Todd Brown will facilitate the harness racing program at the 21 fairs in the conference for 2023.
