Lexington, KY
- Two Standardbred Racing “Town Hall” focus group meetings to gather
input from racing industry participants will take place in June, one at
Harrington Raceway in Delaware on Tuesday, June 14th at 10:30am and the other
at the NJ Meadowlands on Saturday, June 18th at 1:00pm.
The Town Hall
meetings represent an effort by The Association of Racing Commissioners
International to unify the racing industry in the US and develop a consensus
path to improve the policing of the sport and advance uniform regulatory policies.
A no-cost
preregistration is required for all who would like to participate to ensure
that everyone has a seat.

While previous
meetings have been open to all breeds, the ARCI is planning several
“standardbred only” meetings to ensure that standardbred racing has a
meaningful voice in the process.
In addition to the
meetings at Harrington and the Meadowlands, the ARCI is also hoping to arrange
meetings at Dayton Raceway in Ohio in September and Saratoga Harness in New
York later in the year.
The ARCI effort is
comprised of public meetings, private group discussions, webinar
meetings. There will also be an online survey for those unable to
participate in person.
