Jockeys' Guild, LAHBPA Say Members Not Subject to HISA
The Jockeys' Guild and the Louisiana Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association said July 27 that their members are not subject to rules of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority in any racing jurisdiction in the United States. HISA categorically disagreed except for jurisdictions in Louisiana and West Virginia.
The dispute centers on language in the order entered by U.S. District Court Judge Terry A. Doughty, who wrote that the geographic scope of the injunction is limited to the States of Louisiana and West Virginia, "and as to all Plaintiffs in this proceeding,"
The day after Doughty's order, Jockeys' Guild general counsel Kate Swearengen said in a release the language means all members of the Jockeys' Guild are shielded by the order throughout the U.S.
Shortly after the Jockeys' Guild statement was released, LAHBPA executive director Ed Fenasci said in a release none of its approximately 5,000 members are subject to HISA rules in any jurisdiction, either.
