Columbus, OH – With the passage of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act by the U.S. House of Representatives this week, it’s even more important for participants in the harness racing industry to contact their U.S. Senators to oppose this harmful legislation.

The legislation, which was written with no input from the harness racing industry, will significantly increase the cost of racing and eliminate the use of race-day Lasix.  In addition, the proposed legislation would create a federal regulatory Authority Board with no guarantee that there would be harness racing industry representation.

It’s easy to Sign a Petition opposing this federal legislation that will hurt the harness racing industry and all its participants.
