      HBPA Conference Topics Include AI And Horsemen As Racetrack Owners

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      Artificial intelligence on the track and the emerging threats of prediction markets and wagering are among the topics to be discussed at the National HBPA Conference to be held March 3-7 in Hot Springs, Arkansas, at Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, the horsemen's organization said in a Wednesday press release. “Each year, we strive to take a deep dive into the serious issues facing racing while also showcasing innovation that already is making a difference,” said Eric Hamelback, CEO of the National Horsemen's Benevolent & Protective Association (NHBPA). “Our goal is to be a conference that isn't just reactive to challenges but serves as an early warning about emerging threats to our industry. We also want to show our affiliates and horsemen ways to improve on the good work already being done.” Topics also include reimagining racetrack ownership led by horsemen and participants; updates on the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Act (HISA); strengthening horse racing's integrity with increased education and collaboration among officials and investigators; and building pathways to second careers for retired racehorses. “We are in the midst of the AI revolution, whether we like it or not, and horsemen and their leaders must be informed and prepared,” Hamelback said. “Meanwhile, there has been precious little talk about the impact of the prediction markets, which do an end-run around regulated gambling, including sports betting. The conference also seeks to highlight the positives about our great industry. In that regard, we have a couple more special presentations that will be announced soon.” Click here to view the conference program.

      Probably good but not of much benefit to NZ racing if it wasn't bet through our TAB. Don't know revenue but you'd expect any increase would be less than the turnover increase based on the trend from tote to FOB. With customers from at least 25 participating countries and regions around the world wagering into a single pool, World Pool hosted betting on all six races at Saturday’s meeting, ensuring a 71% uplift in turnover on the meeting. The TAB Karaka Millions 2YO was the stand-out performer, with an 11% increase on last year’s edition.
