HISA Leadership to Host Open Forum with Horsemen at Laurel Park on April 22

Tuesday, March 17, 2026

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) will be on-site at Laurel Park on Wednesday, April 22, as part of its ongoing national listening tour aimed at engaging directly with horsemen and industry participants.

HISA’s leadership team will host a two-hour open Q&A session beginning at 10:30 a.m. in the Sports Bar. This session is designed to provide horsemen with a meaningful opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and participate in an open and productive dialogue about HISA’s rules, programs, and their day-to-day impact on the industry.

The goal is straightforward: to foster direct communication. HISA leadership will be available to listen, offer clarity, and engage in a constructive conversation about what is working, what challenges remain, and where improvements can be made.

Lunch will be provided at no cost for all attending horsemen.
