Racing Officials Accreditation Program (ROAP)

The Racing Officials Accreditation Program (ROAP) is a certification system that trains and certifies individuals who oversee horse racing events. It ensures officials possess the necessary knowledge and skills to enforce rules, ensure fair play, and maintain safety during races. The program covers areas such as race management, stewarding, track safety, and officiating procedures. By standardizing training and certification, ROAP helps uphold integrity and consistency across racing jurisdictions, allowing officials to effectively oversee races and resolve issues competently.
