60 Minutes to have feature on horse racing reform

This Sunday (Nov. 12) at 7 pm (EST) or after the football game is over, 60 Minutes will feature as part of their three segments, a feature on horse racing and the drug doping FBI scandal. Harness racing’s Jeff Gural of The Meadowlands will be interviewed on the show.

As the Justice Department winds down one of the biggest horse doping investigations in U.S. history, correspondent Cecilia Vega examines the wiretaps that helped solve the case and convict dozens of veterinarians, horse trainers and drug distributors.

Lisa Lazarus, the woman heading up the new national regulator tasked with cleaning up horse racing, sits down with Vega to discuss the moment of reckoning and the sport’s future.
