## Resource

Today on Midlantic Racing Today: The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) was found earlier this month by the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to be unconstitutional. But the 6th Circuit found the opposite. That likely sets up a fight at the Supreme Court over the horse racing law. Now what? What is the court likely to do? Why do some horsemen want to get rid of it? And what comes next if it is overturned? We talk with National HBPA chief Eric Hamelback, whose group has spearheaded the fight against HISA, about these and other questions. Midlantic Racing Today is powered by The Racing Biz.
