Update: November 23, 2022 at 5:31 pm
Every week, TDN publishes a series of key official rulings from major racetracks in the four major racing jurisdictions, California, New York, Florida and Kentucky.
This is a bait about how each of these jurisdictions adjudicates different offenses, what they make public (or not) and where.
With the Horse Racing Safety and Integrity Act (HISA) taking effect on July 1, TDN will also post a series of HISA-related rulings in the same week.
