Horse Racing Occupational License Step-by-Step Guide
This guide has been established to help potential horse racing licensees in the State of Michigan initiate the licensing process. In Michigan, the three primary types of racing include Standardbred, Thoroughbred, and Mixed Breed (Quarter Horse, Arabian, Appaloosa and American Paint). Each type of racing requires a separate license. Please note that all applicants must be participants in pari-mutuel horse racing in the state and must meet the standards and criteria set forth in the laws and regulations.
|
|
Step 1:
|
Familiarize yourself with Michigan laws and regulations that govern pari-mutuel horse racing in the state.
|
|
|
Step 2:
|
Access and complete the Horse Racing Occupational License Application. Inquiries can be made to the Michigan Gaming Control Board, Division of Horse Racing, Audit & Gaming Technology at (313) 456-4100.
If you are a first-time licensee in Michigan, you must submit a Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) Horse Racing fingerprint card provided by the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB). Completed fingerprints along with a check or money order for $36 (no cash) payable to the State of Michigan may be mailed to the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB). In order to have fingerprint reports sent to all other jurisdictions to which you plan to apply, mark those jurisdictions on the back of the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) Horse Racing fingerprint card.
