Lexington

Laura D'Angelo, a partner in the Lexington office and leader of the Equine Industry Team, was quoted in the "US Law Week June 2026 Circuit Split Review: Horseracing, FTC" article, published by Bloomberg Law on July 3, 2026. In the article, Laura discusses the split decisions between the Fifth and Sixth US Circuit Courts on the constitutionality of the Federal Trade Commission’s command over the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA). She notes that the HISA was created to develop and implement anti-doping safeguards, medication control, and racetrack safety programs at the federal level, as each racing state historically addressed these issues differently. In the article, she also outlines the ongoing legal challenges centered on the authority delegated to HISA and the possibility that this issue ends up before the US Supreme Court.
