The Kentucky Harness Association is pleased to announce several exciting introductory benefits to serve its members.

-
Race sulky accident insurance

Free pre-race veterinarian inspections

Race Sulky Accident Insurance
Coverage for members with registered sulkies that are involved in an on-track accident (specific details will be provided prior to meet opening).
Free Pre-Race Veterinarian Inspections (2020 Race Season)
Under the new Kentucky Horse Racing Commission regulations, all horses are required to undergo a veterinarian examination as a condition of entry. Working in conjunction with the race meet team at Oak Grove, the KHA has been able to secure an arrangement for participating horsepeople with a local veterinarian that will be present at the track. The introductory service rate of $5 has been negotiated for all horsepeople. For 2020, the KHA will pay for all such inspections for its members. Further details can be obtained at the Oak Grove race office (proof of membership required).
