Race Day Insurance 

The Wisconsin Harness Horse Association 

recognizes the need for universal insurance for 

the drivers in our sport. We are proud to 

continue to offer to help subsidize the insurance 

costs so that every race meet in the State of 

Wisconsin is able to afford race day on-track 

driver’s insurance. In return, each host track 

that receives a subsidy has agreed to the policy 

that ALL drivers must be 2012 Members of the 

WHHA in order to drive at their race meet in the 

State of Wisconsin this year. Drivers will be 

allowed to join on race day prior to the first post. 

Page 7

2 nd Offense: $100.00 Fine 

3 rd Offense: $200.00 Fine 

USTA Rule 18, Section 6 

If in the opinion of the Judges a driver is for any 

reason unfit or incompetent to drive or refuses to 

comply with the directions of the Judges, or is

of horses or other drivers in the race, he may be 

removed and another driver substituted at any 

time after the positions have been assigned in a 

race, and the offending driver shall be fined, 

suspended, or expelled. The substitute driver 

shall be properly compensated. 


Loud shouting or other improper conduct is 

forbidden in a race. After the starting gate is in

until after the finish of the race, except that a 

driver shall be allowed to remove a foot from the 

stirrups temporarily for purpose of pulling 

earplugs.
