10. WHHA will offer their Breathalyzer units to

Race Day Insurance

The Wisconsin Harness Horse Association

recognizes the need for universal insurance for

the drivers in our sport. We are proud to

continue to offer to help subsidize the insurance

costs so that every race meet in the State of

Wisconsin is able to afford race day on-track

driver’s insurance. In return, each host track

that receives a subsidy has agreed to the policy

that ALL drivers must be 2018 Members of the

WHHA in order to drive at their race meet in the

State of Wisconsin this year. Drivers will be

allowed to join on race day prior to the first post.

Newly Amended USTA Whipping Rules

Amend § 18.09 by adding the language in bold: Whip Regulations/Prohibitions - The following actions shall

be considered as excessive or indiscriminate use of the whip:

(a) All drivers must keep a line in each hand beginning

when the horse is behind the starting gate and continuing

through the finish of the race.

(b) Whipping shall be restricted to elbow and wrist action

only and the whipping arm shall not be raised above the

driver’s shoulder height.

(c) Drivers shall not move their whipping arm in an

exaggerated manner and the lines shall remain reasonably

taut during the race.

(d) Driver shall not use the whip below the level of the

shaft, forward of the race bike’s wheels.

(e) Drivers shall not place the whip between the horse’s

legs.

(f) Drivers shall not strike another horse or driver with the

whip.

(g) Drivers shall not use the handle of the whip on a horse.

(h) Drivers are permitted to use their hand or the whip in

a sliding or gliding manner above the level of the shaft.

(i) Drivers shall not use the whip on a tired horse, on a

horse that is not visibly responding, or when a horse is not

in contention in a race.

(j) Drivers shall not use the whip without giving the horse

time to respond to a previous application of the whip.

(k) No leather or unusual materials may be used. The

conventional snapper shall not be knotted and tape is only

permitted on the handle of the whip. All other

modifications of the whip are prohibited.

(l) Excessive, indiscriminate, visibly injurious or abusive

use of the whip is prohibited.

“Scratch Reasons”

The scratch reason of “Judges – Not Reported” is no

longer available for selection in eTrack. This change was

made to coincide with USTA Rule 14, Section 14 which

states “Notification of scratched horse – Whenever the

judges list a horse as being “scratched” by the judges

they shall also list the specific reason for the scratch.”

Please be aware that if you scratch your horse at any

Wisconsin race meet, you must provide the Judge / Clerk

of Course with a valid scratch reason. In accordance with

§ 7.03 Inaccurate Information.—An owner, trainer, driver,

or others found guilty of providing inaccurate

information on a horse’s performance, or of attempting

to have misleading information given on a program may

be fined, suspended, or expelled.

“Social Media”

With an ongoing effort to enhance the WHHA and harness

racing in Wisconsin on social media, please take the time out

to develop a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other social

media account and post your racing photos, videos, stories,

etc. Furthermore, please feel free to post, follow and tag our

official outlets.
