Lexington, KY — The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) today announced the members of its Horsemen’s Advisory Group, who were selected from among the more than 250 applications received from hands-on racing participants from across the country. Starting in November, the Advisory Group will convene on a monthly basis to provide feedback to the Authority’s executive team and Standing Committees on the implementation and evolution of HISA’s Racetrack Safety and Anti-Doping and Medication Control regulations.

Following HISA’s announcement of the Advisory Group’s formation on Aug. 29, HISA chose 19 members who together represent a broad range of views and experience from across the American horseracing community. Included among them are trainers, owners and veterinarians, as well as representatives of racing offices, backstretch employees, farriers and aftercare initiatives. Members will serve between 1–2 year terms to stagger changes in the composition of the group and to maximize the opportunity for participation across the industry in the coming years.
