Federal Integrity Act Sails Through U.S. House WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 FEDERAL INTEGRITY ACT AFTER HHR DECISION FROM COURT, KY RACING INDUSTRY CONSIDERS NEXT STEPS SAILS THROUGH U.S. HOUSE by Bill Finley Still reeling from a decision by the Kentucky Supreme Court that ruled that Historical Horse Racing (HHR) machines are illegal, the racing and breeding industries in the state have continued to work behind the scenes to find a way to keep the gaming machines operating. The machines have proved so popular that they handled $2.2 billion during the most recent fiscal year and contribute tens of millions annually to purses. The court ruled that the machines, which resemble slot machines, did not fall under the legal definition of pari-mutuel gambling and, therefore, could not be approved by the Kentucky Racing Commission. Cont. 8 Courtesy Architect of the Capitol IN TDN EUROPE TODAY by T.D.

HR 1754, which has existed in various proposed forms since 2015 and was amended Sept. 9 to match the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) companion legislation that got introduced in the U.S. Senate that same day, passed on Tuesday after five members of Congress from both parties spoke in favor of it while no representatives voiced objections. The Senate version of the HISA (SB 4547) does not currently appear on the near-term calendar of that chamber for voting. But it was introduced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who determines which items come up for action, and McConnell has previously indicated he's strongly in favor of a vote happening prior to the end of the current legislative session. McConnell's press office issued a laudatory statement after the House's passage that did not indicate a timetable for a Senate vote, only noting that "work continues to pass this bill into law." If the HISA next passes the Senate, President Donald Trump would then have the opportunity to sign it into law.

The five Congress people who spoke in favor during Tuesday's HR 1754 was one of 26 bills up for discussion in this manner debate session testified mostly in general terms while Tuesday, and although no formal vote count was tallied, it was advocating for the bill's passage, and at times even lapsed into clear from the strong chorus of "ayes" without a single congratulatory language before the voice vote came back dissenting vote that the measure received the required affirmative, taking the time to thank long lists of industry and two-thirds support to be passed. governmental supporters. There was no mention of the The low-key, matter-of-fact passage on Tuesday lacked any of nuts-and-bolts implementation of the HISA, nor any the polarizing discourse that has defined the controversial detail-oriented talk about one of its most important concessions measure within the sport over the past half-decade. that helped to achieve a recent degree of compromise: the Although numerous industry organizations, including The phasing-out of race-day medications, instead of banning them Jockey Club, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, outright, like previous versions of the bill had sought to do. various horse-health coalitions, and a number of top-tier Rep.

TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 15 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 Cont. "The bill establishes uniform standards for medication and anti-doping control, and racetrack safety for Thoroughbred horse racing," Pallone said. "This will help ensure that we can maintain a safe, thriving horse racing industry. It also applies stronger safeguards and enforcement against performance- enhancing drugs [PEDs]. For a sport in which fans place billions of dollars of bets, trust in the authenticity of competition is crucial. The very legitimacy of the sport is undermined if the competitors and public cannot trust that all racehorses are competing on a level playing field." Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY), who has co-sponsored three different versions of the Integrity Act (including the current amended version), framed the House's passage of the bill as an opportunity to lock in a better future for horse racing. "That patchwork system simply doesn't work. This national approach brings great hope to the integrity of this great industry. If horse racing is to thrive as an industry and once again capture the public's imagination, we must do better," Tonko said. Tonko explained how the new board of the independent authority would include "voices representing a spectrum of perspectives within the horse racing industry." Yet he also stated how representation on that board would be "subject to strict conflict of interest rules." He did not offer specifics on how to achieve that difficult balance of inclusion and objectivity. Several representatives who spoke in favor of the bill referenced an honor roll of America's great racehorses when championing for passage of the HISA. Yet Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) spoke instead about the raw economics of the horse industry, which he said contributes between $26 billion and $50 billion (depending on the estimate source) in direct economic impact to the U.S.
