Horse racing regulations are rules established to ensure fair competition and the safety of both horses and jockeys. These regulations cover various aspects, including the eligibility of horses, the conduct of races, and the responsibilities of trainers and owners. They also address issues like medication use and the treatment of horses to prevent abuse and ensure their well-being. Additionally, regulatory bodies, such as the United States Trotting Association and the British Horseracing Authority, oversee the enforcement of these rules. They conduct inspections, monitor races, and impose penalties for violations to maintain the integrity of the sport and protect its participants.
