Important News 03-22-2021

We are pleased to inform you that the Race Horse Committee (RHC) unanimously approved to revise the percentage distribution from the Race Horse Development Fund to 92% for overnight purses, 75% for Breeders purses, and 50% for Health and Pension Benefits. The percentage had been 70% for overnight and Breeders purses and 40% for Health and Pension benefits.

The revision to the percentage distribution was approved after ongoing discussions with the Thoroughbred industry when their representative agreed that we should receive the increased percentage due the closure of Suffolk Downs, and no alternative to race in Massachusetts for the foreseeable future.

As in the past, the recommendation must be approved by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission and the Massachusetts Legislature. When approved, the revised split will take effect on April 1, 2021.

July 3, 2020 
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The following link is the Protocol approved by the MGC for racing at Plainridge Park Casino.  Please take the time to read it.  It is very important for everyone to understand and follow it,  as our racing future depends on it.  Besides the now-familiar practices of social distancing, washing your hand, not touching your hands to your face, face coverings, and frequent use of hand sanitizers, we need to follow all instructions we receive upon entering the premise.  The Agricultural Department has offered their assistance to the horsemen and women at Mondays Qualifiers to ensure safe practices are followed, Board members will be available as well.  You will be expected to clean up the area assigned to you upon your departure, which means not leaving empty water bottles or containers of any kind, tape, vet wraps, or food wrappers. Leave with everything you bring.
This is a new time, a new era and we all need to do our part to ensure the safety of ourselves, others, our horses, and the future of our Industry.
Your HHANE Board of Directors.

The office will be taking phone calls if there are questions, and can be reached at

(617)533-9803, Monday –Friday.

 HHANE Horsemen - 2021

 John Matteros e-mail to email your paperwork to: john.mattero@pngaming.com If you do not know how to scan and email, take a picture and send to HHANE's cell phone at 508-918-8852.  

 The fillable licenses for new licensees are on the mass gaming website: https://massgaming.com/licensing/horse-racing-licenses/. Instructions also have been updated to read for both new and renewal licenses, they can be mailed, faxed or emailed. They’ll still need to get the payment to mass gaming. The email address is: mgcracinglicense@massgaming.gov. Also, they are going paperless for the Furosemide (Lasix) program request form. Now, trainers can email the horses they want on Lasix to that same email address: mgcracinglicense@massgaming.gov. This should help the trainers because they will have an email record of who they’ve added or taken off. If the trainer’s email address does not include their name, please include your name in the email, so it’s clear who it’s coming from, that would help greatly.   


 TRAINERS- YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO SUBMIT A PAPER LASIX REQUEST FORM TO PUT ON OR TAKE A HORSE OFF OF LASIX! To promote Social Distancing, you may now email the name of the horses(s) that you are requesting to be placed on or removed from the furosemide (LASIX) program. mgcracinglicense@massgaming.gov Send the name of the horse(s) along with your name and include an email address for verification. If you do not have an email address, include your phone number. Any Questions, please call Dr. Alex Lightbown at 1-617-979-8436 for assistance.  


 Horsemen Reminder: Please check your horses paperwork, as no horses will be allowed on the grounds of Plainridge without a current negative Coggins and EHV vaccine. We will keep you posted as to any other necessary requirements as they become available to us.
