Call to the post: Horseracing Integrity Act would help industry

This lack of uniformity in the rules has impaired interstate commerce and undermined the public confidence in the sport. However, two Congressman continue to work to fix that -- Reps. Andy Barr, R-Kentucky, and Paul Tonko, D- New York. Both are from states synonymous with horse racing. The two serve as co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Horse Caucus and have introduced a version of the Horseracing Integrity Act since 2015. The act, which establishes an authority to create and implement a national uniform medication program with input from the horse industry, was once again reintroduced this week.
