Oklahoma Challenges Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act

Good for them; or it, or good for OK. I knew the USTA was against it, didn't know it had joined a suit. Federalism is good; uniformity dictated by unelected non-governmental bureaucrats can be nothing but bad. Even if it sounds good.

I followed this at arm's length , and I read a chunk of it.
My uninformed opinion was actually a question. Is this some kind of a joke? By the time it's in place, it'll be outdated. Life sciences - Technology is on warp speed.

There’s a simple solution to this, cut their signal from simulcast feeds in states that are going to operate under it. Let’s see how long oklahoma and west virginia racing can stand on their own

I tried reading through some of this political mumbo jumbo.
All I know is that watching the racing fr4om Mountaineer last night was sad.
Many horses just falling way beyond the field or simply not finishing.. I have been part of "mountaineer nation" for years, but to let some of these horses race just to fill fields was awful. Someone needs to watch over this crap.

Two words
Supremacy clause.
The feds want horse racing regulated by this law.
Case closed.

The Feds?
Not so much.
I recall being invited to an informal sit down with executives from the Jockey Club, WADA, and Breeders Cup a month or two before Keeneland switched back to a dirt surface and hosted a Breeders Cup.
Based on that I can tell you those three organizations had been lobbying Congress to get it passed since at least 2015.
Imo, if the Federal Government really saw this as a must have - it wouldn't have taken four or five years of lobbying efforts to get it passed.

I suppose I could award A for effort. Baseball teams have 27 man roster and they can't keep PED'S out of the game. But 1000's of horses living in barns , we got that? Plus the abysmal historical failures at any self-policing.
It'll put people and tracks out of business. Getting a 6 year old $5000 horse to run 9 times a year at Penn or mountainaire isn't all oats.

SIZE OF FIELD AND STARTS PER HORSE:
http://www.jockeyclub.com/default.as...=10§ion=FB
According to stats at The Jockey Club website:
Prior to 1975 North American thoroughbreds averaged more than 10 starts per year.
In 2019 North American thoroughbreds averaged barely over 6 starts per year.
Why were horses of the 60's and 70's able to average nearly double the starts per year of today's horses?
