As expected:  

 since the amendment included in the spending bill strengthens the FTC's rule making and oversight role of HISA, it provides a fix for “the alleged constitutional defect.”

The filing summarizes: “Accordingly, the [Fifth Circuit] panel opinion–predicated on a prior version of HISA that no longer exists and that Congress purposefully replaced–cannot stand.”

Good.  One step closer to sweeping the status quo reactionaries out of the way so we can experience a sport with unified rules and regs. for all jurisdictions.  Progress.

Hell yeah, get the rest of the racing world on the Lasix.  LOL

Lol..

Good to have a laugh on Moanday..

TY for getting it.

Belated Happy New Year, Plus.  And to all the rest of our friends here.  

Baffert ran 1/2/3 in the Sham so it is Groundhog Day again and again and again.  :-D

A perfectly named race for Baff, dont you think. Yes, the hits just keep coming I suspect to prove to all, he is the greatest......

There are two places you will not find Beta Bob's name.  On the list of trainers who support HISA and on the list of trainers who have come out in favor of the Water-Hay-Oats-Alliance [WHOA]

Baffert's the perpetual victim.  Always someone else's fault.

The president of the National HBPA, a group that on several local levels had been actively obstructing the smooth implementation of HISA uniform rules and regulations, as well as the new anti-doping and drug protocols, has signed onto the HISA advisory board.

This, IMO, is a welcome and necessary development.  Good news.
