Alan Foreman Chairman THA

"Our Association has been a national leader in promoting equine health and safety protocols through the Mid-Atlantic Strategic Plan to Reduce Equine Fatalities and we expect to continue in that role."

Tom Rooney President NTRA

"I know how to get things done in Washington, D.C., and look forward to increasing our advocacy efforts with our nation’s lawmakers."

Mike Campbell President ITHA

"The legislature sought to promote and protect the Illinois horseracing industry. That is the clear intent of the 2019 law."

Dr. Juliea McCall Veterinarian

"Trainers need to educate owners and maintain a relationship. It would help put things more in context and it wouldn't be a surprise when a conversation about racehorse retirement begins."
