HISA charges Marshall Gramm with fraud over access to racing data
The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) has charged Rhodes College professor Marshall Gramm with fraud and unauthorised access to confidential horse-health records. HISA alleges he accessed information on thousands of horses over six weeks and used it in betting and horse claims; Gramm denies wrongdoing and says he used his authorised account. HISA is considering sanctions, including a possible lifetime racing ban.
The case could lead to a lifetime ban for a horse-racing bettor and ownership-syndicate operator.
