The Arabian Racing Association of California is dedicated to the promotion and enhancement of Arabian racing in California. ARAC offers its members many opportunities to gain knowledge about and participate in the exciting and rapidly expanding sport of the Arabian breed. ARAC is recognized by the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) as the breed organization for Arabian race horses in the State of California. The role of ARAC is to organize, direct and officially represent California Arabian horsemen, as well as support all pari-mutuel racing for Arabians in California.
ARAC is a non-profit corporation consisting of a dues paying membership which elects a nine-member Board Of Directors. There are two membership categories: Licensed members (members who hold a current CHRB Owners or Trainers license) and Associate members, who support the sport and are interested in racing, and may want to serve on a committee.
ARAC is also authorized by California Horse Racing Law to manage, control and direct the Arabian Cal-bred program.
Arabian Racing Facts Racing is the most popular spectator sport in the United States, and the Arabian is the fastest growing breed in racing. In fact, Arabian racing is the fastest growing sport in the Country, increasing over 1,000 percent in scope in the past ten years.
Arabians have already proven, in California and many other states, that the public thoroughly enjoys and will readily support Arabian racing when offered quality horses and competitive fields. The benefits received through racing are many, including an objective proof of soundness, exposure of the breed to millions of new people and considerable financial income potential through purses generated by pari-mutuel wagering. Plus racing is just plain exciting! The thrill of watching Arabians driving for the finish line is an experience no one should miss.
