The Coalition for Horse Racing Integrity has announced that the Jockey Club of Canada (JCC) has joined as a member.

The JCC is the second international racing group to join the coalition, bringing additional support from another jurisdiction which has already implemented the type of uniform high standards for medication testing and enforcement that supporters seek to achieve in the United States.

“The border between Canada and the U.S. is one crossed by thousands of racehorses each year,” said Jeff Begg, chief steward of the Jockey Club of Canada. “The members of the Jockey Club of Canada are eager to see medication reforms in the U.S. that will provide certainty and a level playing field no matter what state or track they’re headed to.”

The Jockey Club of Canada oversees the Thoroughbred breeding registry and graded stakes racing in Canada, and is responsible for the annual Sovereign Awards program and the Canadian Graded Stakes Committee. The organization represents Canada at the annual International Federation of Horse Racing Authorities Conference
