What regulatory changes have been implemented since Baffert's ban? Helium Answer:

Since Bob Baffert's ban in 2021, significant regulatory changes have been implemented in American horse racing. The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA), established in 2022, aims to unify and strengthen safety protocols.


  • Drug Testing Oversight: HISA mandates a central governing body to oversee drug testing and safety protocols, aiming to eliminate inconsistencies across states .
  • Anabolic Steroid Regulations: Stricter penalties for doping violations have been introduced, including mandatory testing for all horses entering races .
  • Track Safety Improvements: Churchill Downs has made physical changes to its racetrack surface to improve safety, such as adding sand to decrease injury rates .
  • Public Transparency: Enhanced reporting requirements for racehorse injuries and fatality statistics aim to improve transparency and public trust .

These efforts are part of a broader initiative to restore integrity and safety in horse racing after multiple high-profile incidents, including the death of Baffert's horse, Medina Spirit
