The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act, which was signed into law in December 2020, established HISA as an independent agency to draft and enforce uniform safety and integrity rules in Thoroughbred racing in the United States. The bill goes into effect on July 1, and owners are among the list of individuals who must register with HISA as a covered person prior to this date.

“The passage of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act was an important step forward for Thoroughbred racing, and this webinar will enable owners to engage directly with HISA to learn about registration and answer any questions they may have,” said Gary Falter, project manager for OwnerView.

Interested individuals can sign up for the virtual conference at ownerview.com/event/conference or send an email to Gary Falter, [email protected]. The webinar will be recorded and made available on the OwnerView YouTube channel for owners that cannot attend the live session.

Separately, HISA on June 1 published revised regulations regarding medication control and anti-doping. The new regs can be found here.
