The 2017 Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI) Conference on Racing Integrity and Equine Welfare will focus on a blunt discussion about what is working and what is not in racing regulation in an ongoing effort to continually strengthen current policing efforts.

The annual ARCI conference is the only gathering of racing industry regulators, but attendance is open to anyone involved with the industry in any capacity. The conference will be held April 18-20 in Charleston, South Carolina. Interested parties can register to attend at eventbrite.com/e/2017-arci-conference-on-racing-integrity-and-welfare-tickets-31128597473.

Racing’s drug testing program will undergo an aggressive review by a panel of experts who will address the topic “Drug Testing: Are We Getting it Right and Catching the Cheaters?” Expect discussions focusing on emerging doping threats and possible ways to monitor horses through development of an equine biological passport. There will also be a discussion of strategies as to how to select horses for out-of-competition tests.

Additionally, the use of the riding crop will be discussed and debated at the conference, as will current policies which could be an impediment to emerging technologies intended to grow the sport. There will also be a discussion about creative ways to adjudicate racing rule violations differently than what is now being done
