Can I collect race information from participants in Ohio? What are the requirements?

Yes, you can collect race information from participants in Ohio, but you would need to follow certain requirements.

To collect race information from participants in Ohio, you would need to apply for a permit to conduct a horse racing meeting with the Ohio State Racing Commission [2.1][2.2]. The application for the permit must include the full names and addresses of the person, persons, association, corporation, or trust making the application, the dates and exact location where the applicant will conduct race meetings and the proposed hours of each racing day, and any other information as the commission may require [2.2].

In terms of racing entries, the racing secretary shall receive declarations (entries) for all races. All entries must be made in writing through a computerized method approved by the commission or by telephone as provided in rule 3769-15-30 of the Administrative Code. Entries must give the name of the owner, registered stable or lessee of the horse, the name of the owner, trainer, or authorized agent making the entry, the telephone number of the person making the entry, and the license number of the person making the entry if the license number has been issued. Entries must also give the name, age, and sex of the horse, the event in which the horse is being entered, the name of the trainer of the horse, and the name of the intended driver of the horse. Entries must state if the horse is to race with furosemide (lasix), and if it is the first time the horse is to race with furosemide, that information shall also be included. Entries must also state if the horse is a pacer that is racing without hopples or a trotter that is racing with hopples. Entries in all events must also comply with the provisions of rule 3769-15-10 of the Administrative Code and for claiming events the current registration certificate must be on file with the racing secretary [5.1].

Therefore, to collect race information from participants in Ohio, you would need to apply for a permit to conduct a horse racing meeting with the Ohio State Racing Commission and follow the requirements for racing entries.
