We’ve heard so much about the recent passage of “The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act.” Here is a good synopsis. We will stay involved in this conversation on what it will mean for Illinois harness racing.
The IHHA would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. We understand what an extremely difficult year this has been for so many. May the new year bring you and your loved ones good health, happiness and prosperity.
100% of the remaining purse money owed from Hawthorne (Springfield, DuQuoin and Night of Champions) is now available. It should be hitting your individual accounts within the next day or so, if it hasn’t already. Hawthorne has not been paid in full yet from the State but it was close enough that they were able to cover all of it. Also, the final checks for the Colt Associations from the Dept. of Ag. were mailed out a few days ago as well.
