UPDATE: Corrected Kentucky HBPA board election ballots to be sent out

Horsemen’s alert: Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024 

Horsemen: We are printing new ballots for the Kentucky HBPA board of directors election that will include trainer Eric Foster, whose name was inadvertently left off the original ballots.

The new ballots should go out in 10-12 days. The new deadline is Nov. 16 to have your ballot received by the accounting firm that counts the ballots.

None of the original ballots will be counted. Any of those ballots that already have been mailed will be voided. The new ballots will be clearly marked as the corrected ballot.
