ATTENTION ALL HBPA MEMBERS
It is the responsibility of the LAHBPA to help grow our industry and provide our horsemen the best opportunity to succeed financially and to compete with other racing jurisdictions. During the past several years it has become evident that our thoroughbred horsemen have only had the opportunity to compete for adequate purse money six months out the year (October through March). The other six months of the year, our horsemen participate, at lower purses, which prompt some to leave the state and race in other racing jurisdictions. Recognizing this dilemma and to prevent it from adversely affecting the industry, the LAHBPA worked directly with Senator LaFleur in proposing legislation that would provide a mechanism to transfer a portion of purse money from one Licensed Eligible Facility (Race Track) to another Licensed Eligible Facility (Race Track). This legislation, SB 525 was filed and ultimately passed by both houses and signed into law on May 30, 2018. The LAHBPA met directly with
