September 2, 2025 (Lexington, KY) – The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) is currently accepting applications for new members to join its Next Generation Advisory Group. Since the group’s formation in April 2024, its members have provided valuable insight on potential and current HISA rules and have supported strategic initiatives to enhance the effectiveness of HISA’s Racetrack Safety Program and Anti-Doping and Medication Control Program.
The inaugural membership of the Advisory Group—available in full <a href="https://url.avanan.click/v2/r01/___https:/hisaus.org/about-us?cat=next-generation-advisory-group___.YXAzOmhpc2F1czphOm86Mzc1MDYyYzc0NTk0Y2EzYjk5OGNiMDVlYmVhMjllNzc6Nzo3NzU5OjRmM2EzNmI5YzQ2NWZiOWZiNGFmMDliZmRkNzkzZDdlZjViYzZjNmMwZTMyZGU2OWU2OTQwOTIzMTNkZmY3YmY6cDpGOkY">here</a>—includes horsemen, veterinarians, jockeys, horseplayers and representatives from racing offices and racing syndicates. Members serve staggered terms of 18 to 36 months to ensure continuity and fresh perspectives. As the initial 18-month terms conclude, HISA is beginning the process of rotating members off to welcome new voices and ideas into the group.
HISA is seeking applicants in the early to mid-stages of their professional careers who bring a wide range of experience in Thoroughbred horse racing and who engage with HISA’s rules. Advisory Group members are expected to join monthly meetings with HISA leadership to provide feedback on HISA’s rules and processes.
Candidates interested in joining the Advisory Group for membership beginning in October 2025 or April 2026 should <a href="https://bphisaweb.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/HISA_Next-Generation-Advisory-Group-Application_082725.pdf">submit an application</a> to <a href="mailto:NextGen@HISAus.org">NextGen@HISAus.org</a> outlining their interest and qualifications by Friday, September 19, 2025.
