The revenue from the Historic Horse Racing terminals has helped to boost live horse racing events in Wyoming and supplemented bigger incentives for horse breeders throughout the state. It has brought a great revenue source to the State of Wyoming, Wyoming municipalities and agricultural based businesses and communities. Over $2.7 million was distributed to the Wyoming Breeder Awards Fund in 2020 despite the loss of revenue and race days due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. These awards are paid out to eligible owners, breeders and stallion owners of registered Wyoming Bred horses that participate in Wyoming live race meets throughout the state. Over $12.5 million dollars has now been allocated to the fund from Historic Racing terminals since 2013.
