Rule Changes
Rule Reminder: Use of
Suspended Veterinarian
When a veterinarian has been suspended, trainers should keep in mind 71
IAC 5-3-3 (f), which states:
No trainer shall permit a
veterinarian whose license is suspended in any jurisdiction or who is excluded
from the stable area of tracks under the jurisdiction of the commission to
treat any horse, regardless of its location, that has or will be actively
participating in racing in Indiana during a given calendar year.
Trainers who fail to abide by the regulation can face
discipline, including fines and suspensions.
Please be advised that pursuant to a ruling as of March 15, 2017, Dr. Joseph Baliga has been suspended for a period of five years.
Should you have any questions regarding your veterinarian’s
status, please contact the Commission office: 317-233-3119

NEW!
Online Licensing System
Why stand in line or make the drive to one of our tracks
when you can renew your Indiana horseracing license online?
This winter the IHRC debuted its online licensing system to
help expedite renewals. The process should only take a few moments, and it’ll
save you a lot of time. See more information on the website.
Notice: Money Due to
Bookkeeper
Indiana Grand and Hoosier Park have identified many negative purse
accounts. Commission Staff is reviewing the negative accounts and will be
taking action against the account holders pursuant to I.C. 4-31-12-13 and 71
IAC 7-3-32.
The statute requires that if a purse has not been paid back,
the owner and trainer of the horse are suspended until the purse is repaid. The
horse is also suspended.
