HIWU Testing Protocols in Place for Listed, Graded Races in HISA Jurisdictions

The Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, which founded and manages the American Graded Stakes Committee, will accept the testing protocols and criteria administered by the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit for graded and listed stakes races conducted in jurisdictions governed by the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority. HIWU will assign TCO2 and Post-Race testing for these races at quantities and rates specific to each race.

Racetracks will not be at risk of losing graded or listed status for their races if the HIWU testing protocols for these races differ from the American Graded Stakes Committee's requirements.

Racetracks operating in states that are not under the jurisdiction of HISA will remain subject to the American Graded Stakes Committee Drug Testing Protocols in regard to maintaining graded and listed statuses of their races.
