flag HISA's $230M program faces scrutiny for failing to reduce horse deaths, cut doping, or ensure transparency.

flag An independent assessment by the ARCI questions whether HISA’s nearly $230 million cost is justified, noting equine fatality rates have remained nearly unchanged at around 99.9% through mid-2025. flag Anti-doping tests dropped 46% from 2022 to 2024 despite fewer races, and no new doping agents have been found. flag TCO2 testing rose sharply, making up 31% of tests but only 4% of adverse findings. flag Uniform rules exist, but compliance with vet and location reporting is inconsistent. flag HISA’s AI system lacks transparency, and the agency operates without public records or open meetings. flag ARCI President Ed Martin criticized HISA’s rushed creation without congressional review, citing rising costs, litigation, and industry division, and called for reform or replacement.
