Andy Cohen is this week’s guest on the Harness Racing Alumni Show. Mr. Cohen has important information for everyone that is connected with harness racing. Andy tells Freddie, Trade and Bob the details of the April 21st meeting that took place between seven of harness racing’s stakeholders and Travis Tygart, the CEO of the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA). Also attending the meeting were leaders of the Jockey Club, The Coalition for Horseracing Integrity and Animal Wellness Action.
After the meeting Travis Tygart made the following statement;
"Last week we had a productive conversation with several members of the harness racing community to help explain the role USADA intends to play in the enforcement of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act, the new federal law designed to establish an equine program of strong, harmonized rules that cover all racing breeds. We discussed testing protocols, medication rules, and other matters of special interest to the Standardbred community. We look forward to continuing the conversation with the leadership of the United States Trotting Association."
This is a must listen to show for anyone involved in harness racing
