Racing commissions

Racing commissions are government agencies that oversee horse racing and other forms of racing, ensuring fair practices and safety. They establish and enforce rules, regulate betting, license participants (like trainers and jockeys), and monitor the integrity of races. Their goal is to maintain a level playing field, protect the welfare of the animals, and ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards. By overseeing these aspects, racing commissions help promote transparency and trust within the racing industry for both participants and spectators.
