What defines a horse’s chance to respond after a jockey uses the riding crop in a race. The gray areas of out-of-competition drug testing when horses aren’t at a racetrack or have changed trainers.

These are among the topics that the Association of Racing Commissioners International’s (ARCI) model rules committee will take up at Thursday afternoon and Friday morning at the Omni Tucson National Resort and Spa, in Tucson, Arizona. The ARCI represents the only independent entities recognized by law to license, make, and enforce rules and adjudicate matters pertaining to pari-mutuel racing.

The ARCI’s model rules committee is charged with developing rules and regulations based on fairness, practicality, and enforceability with the ultimate mission of what is in the best interest of safety, horses’ welfare, the betting public and integrity of the game. The model rules, once approved by the ARCI board, become the blueprint for adoption by individual states’ regulatory bodies.

The model rules committee is chaired by Larry Eliason, of the South Dakota Commission on Gaming, and its members include regulators who have experience as trainers, track operators, owners, jockeys, stewards, attorneys, and law enforcement agents
