The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority’s 150-day layoff report rule, announced July 8, took effect Thursday, Dec. 5. The forms previously used by trainers in the Mid-Atlantic region will no longer be valid.*

Under the new rule, a layoff report must be submitted prior to entry in a race for a horse that has not raced in 150 days or more. HISA recommends that the reports be uploaded to the HISA portal 10-14 days prior to the entry day. Trainers will be notified through HISA when a horse has been away from racing for 140 days.

More information on how to submit a report is available at this link, which provides a PDF step-by-step explanation: https://hisa-resources-public.s3.amazonaws.com/how-to-fill-out-and-submit-a-post-layoff-report-visual-guide.pdf

*Trainers in West Virginia will continue to use the original 150-Day Layoff Report
