The Indiana horse racing industry receives considerable news and editorial coverage throughout the state. In addition, because our industry competes with other states' racing industries in a regional and national market, ongoing coverage from outside Indiana has a direct effect on our issues. The Indiana Horse Racing and Breeding Coalition will post pertinent news clips in its news section as an additional tool for informing interested readers.
