The National Thoroughbred Racing Association Safety and Integrity Alliance is seeking public comment on its activities in advance of the release of an annual report in late December.

Tommy Thompson, a former federal and state official who serves as independent monitor for the alliance, is preparing the year-end report. The alliance was formed in the fall of 2008, and this year it began accrediting racetracks under its code of standards.

The alliance was formed to establish standards and practices that promote safety and integrity in horse racing, and to work toward their implementation.

The NTRA in a Nov. 25 release said Thompson has set up an e-mail address (NTRAindependentmonitor@akingump.com) at which the public can comment "on any aspect of the alliance." Comments must be submitted by Dec. 1
