TALLAHASSEE, FL—SEPTEMBER 23, 2015—In a letter to Florida Horsemen on Tuesday Dr. Steve Fisch, President of the FQHRA, assured horsemen participating in the upcoming Hialeah Park race meet "that you will be paid in a timely manner with FQHRA handling and protecting the purse funds."

According to Fisch as part of the resolution to a court hearing held in March of this year Hialeah/SFRA will not dispute that FQHRA is to handle the horsemen’s bookkeeper duties for the 2015/2016 Hialeah Park race meet.

"Part of the safety net of the horsemen is to have a group representing them that will always perform an accurate and complete accounting of the purse money. FQHRA demonstrated without a shadow of a doubt that every dollar is accounted for when FQHRA is in charge of the purse account," Fisch said .

"FQHRA appreciates your support and we look forward to seeing you in a few months," Fisch added.

Hialeah Park is set to open it's 2015/2016 live meet on December 26 and continue through February 29. The track will host 40 days of racing with $5.6 million in purses, an average of $140,000 in purse money per day. The meet will feature eight live Quarter Horse racings per day.
