I’m not a big fan of the guys currently running the USTA but facts are facts. If the USTA had any control their model rules would be enforced in every state. They obviously are not. The problem with HISA is it has put into play without enough planning. Their rules are changing every month. And if In the TBred industry you now have to pay a fee to HISA in addition to every state commission where you race.

USTA has no control. All the control is with the state racing commissions. Biggest problem Is the people running the commissions are appointed by the governor. They have no care for racing. Just getting a title and paycheck because they are family friends
You made my point. The state racing commissions do nothing except collect paychecks and are in bed with the casinos who are paying huge taxes which are ultimately budgeting the commissions and helping the governor balance the budget. The states and casinos don't want any feathers ruffled. That is why they, as well as the USTA don't want the FEDS stepping on their turf. I guess you fail to forget the fact that it was the feds that indicted 29 scumbags 3 years ago and not the various state commissions or the USTA.

That's a simple one. HISA is Federal. They will tell the USTA when to jump and how high. The USTA wants to retain control and keep the industry state controlled.

This is my point. The USTA, namely its president, now the sole shareholder of Hanover Shoe Farms, the Industries biggest breeder and sales mononpoly, DOES NOT WANT FED OVERSIGHT.
