TXRC Updates Export Signal Policy: “Absent Congressional or Judicial Intervention, the Only Option to Protect Texas Horseracing is to Stay the Court on Denying the Export Signal for Covered Thoroughbred Races”

The Texas Racing Commission released an update on Export Signal ahead of the 2023 Sam Houston Race Park Thoroughbred Meet, starting on Friday.

The release states:

“The best path forward for Texas horseracing continues to be the denial of HISA’s jurisdiction to allow our state’s industry to move forward and operate in an atmosphere of regulatory certainty. Accordingly, all requests to approve the interstate export of Thoroughbred pari-mutuel simulcast signals will continue to be denied until such time as all constitutional defects of the HISA statute are resolved and Texas law is conformed to harmonize with the federal legislation. This policy does not affect: Thoroughbred pari-mutuel import, intrastate or international export signal requests.”
