Horse Racing Unit (HRU)

Is responsible for initiating and investigating complaints which violate N.J.S.A. 5:5-71, Title 5 of the Administrative Code, and Title 13 Chapter 70 and 71 Law and Public Safety Codes relative to Horse Racing.

Unit members investigate findings of foreign substances in participating horses, allegations of race manipulation by licensed participants as a result of illicit activities, pari-mutual ticket frauds, as well as all cases of hidden ownership. The unit conducts compliance investigations at licensed horse farms located throughout the state of New Jersey.

The Unit also investigates criminal activity that occurs on the grounds of the licensed pari-mutual wagering facilities in the state. Any violations of the Racing Commission Rules and Regulations that adversely affect the integrity of the racing industry within the state of New Jersey will be investigated. The Unit acts as a liaison between the New Jersey Racing Commission investigators, the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau (TRPB) investigators and the United States Trotting Association (USTA) investigators in order to maintain integrity throughout the racing industry.
