The Philippine Racing Commission takes great pride in welcoming everyone the official website of the PHILRACOM.  Philippine horse racing’s key policy and regulatory agency mandated to promote and direct the accelerated growth and development of the local equine industry.

       This is indeed an opportune occasion to finally link the PHILRACOM, an agency established more than 28 years ago, to the information highway and keep it abreast with the exciting developments in the electronic media.  Considering the many changes that have happened to the local horse racing industry over the past years, we believe that it is only timely that such a window has finally been opened.

       Through this new service, we intend to inform and increase the awareness of the public on the major developments and activities affecting the local horse racing industry, including major policy issues and concerns that are regularly addressed by the PHILRACOM during its weekly meetings.

       Moreover, this website is also intended to provide all interested parties, both here and abroad, with enough information to possibly consider future involvements in the industry either as potential investors or direct participants.

       We are proud to note that Philippine horse racing is undoubtedly one of the most vibrant sport-industries in the country, if not in the whole racing world, having set record growth in terms of patronage over the past many years.

       We are hopeful that through the stewardship of the PHILRACOM that we would be able to harness local horse racing to its full potential both as a source of revenue for the government and livelihood for many of our countrymen.

       Thank you very much.

The Philippine Racing Commission has gone a long way since its creation on March 20, 1974 through PD 420 signed by President Ferdinand E. Marcos. Since then it has made it's mark in the local horse racing industry, being the regulatory agency mandated to promote and direct the growth and development of the equine industry in the Philippines.

Now as it celebrates it's 34th founding anniversary it aims to extend its reach to the industry through services planned to promote and develop horse racing in the country and increase government revenue as it aims high and looks forward to the challenges of the future ahead.
