The racing-related equine fatality rate at tracks subject to HISA’s rules dropped below 1.00 per 1,000 starts in 2024, landing at 0.90. This achievement reflects the commitment of so many across our sport who share our dedication to equine welfare and rider safety.

Yesterday, we traveled with Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit to Washington, D.C. to update Congressional staff on our efforts to enhance safety in horse racing. Thank you to all attendees, including Congressman Andy Barr and Paul Tonko for your ongoing leadership on these important issues! #Horseracing

We’re excited to welcome back Jeff Novitzky. His anti-doping expertise will be invaluable to HISA’s mission to promote fairness in horse racing.

HISA has made significant progress in advancing its mandate across racetrack safety, technological innovation and equine welfare. Thank you to the many racing stakeholders we work with every day to improve our industry!

I’m looking forward to visiting racetracks across the country this year to meet with horsemen and other industry stakeholders to ensure that HISA’s efforts align with the needs of those on the ground. Let’s work together to build on our momentum!
