It allows interstate simulcasting, and the act is the only federal legislation with authority over pari-mutuel wagering in <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/?s=horse+racing\">horse racing<\/a> in the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the IHA, a racing association cannot send out its signal for off-track wagering or accept an off-track signal without permission from a group that represents the majority of owners and trainers at the track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI shut it down,\u201d said Rick Hiles, the president of the Kentucky HBPA. \u201cThe New Mexico Racing Commission is circumventing the Interstate Horseracing Act.
