Weekly Stewards and Commissions Rulings – Nov. 1-7

Every week, the TDN publishes a roundup of key official rulings from the primary tracks within the four major racing jurisdictions of California, New York, Florida and Kentucky.

   Here's a primer on how each of these jurisdictions adjudicates different offenses, what they make public (or not) and where.

   With the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) having gone into effect on July 1, the TDN will also post a roundup of the relevant HISA-related rulings from the same week.
