Notice

Attention Horsemen:

The Louisiana State Racing Commission issued the attached Emergency Ruling on Friday March 20, 2020 in response to the Louisiana HBPA’s request for help.  The order provides for each Race Track to allow horses to move customarily between tracks to each trainer’s allocated stalls and to continue training. 

See the attached Notice. (Download Here)

Boyd Gaming, on behalf of Evangeline Downs and Delta Downs, responded to the Commission’s order by filing a temporary restraining order to prevent our members from moving their horses into Delta Downs or Evangeline Downs and to continue training.  The hearing on this restraining order is scheduled to be heard on Friday March 27, 2020.

On behalf of its members, the Louisiana HBPA appreciates the prompt response and assistance from the Louisiana State Racing Commission and the Louisiana Attorney General’s office in their assistance and protection of our industry participants.

Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
