If you have any questions you'd like to ask the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) Authority or the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit (HIWU), please feel free to send them over to us at the following email address: danross@thetdn.com. Q: Could any actions outside of the sport, such as criminal charges and/or convictions, ever put a covered person's license at risk of being revoked? (HISA representative): While state racing commissions, rather than HISA, oversee licensure in their respective states, criminal charges and/or convictions may negatively affect a Covered Person's eligibility for a racing license. If an individual's license is suspended or revoked by the licensing state for any reason, that may affect the individual's status as a Covered Person and, consequently, their ability to participate in Covered Horseracing.Separately, certain conduct outside the state licensing context–including criminal charges or convictions involving the cruelty, mistreatment, neglect or abuse of a Covered Horse–may result in the suspension of a Covered Person's registration with HISA, which also may affect the individual's ability to participate in Covered Horseracing.The post Ask the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
