Description
The United States Trotting Association ("USTA") is a non-profit Ohio corporation that establishes rules for harness racing, registers horses, and licenses owners and drivers. In 1993, the USTA adopted rules to standardize the design of the "sulky," a lightweight two-wheeled buggy that the horse pulls in harness racing. By doing so, it induced various state racing commissions to ban a novel form of sulky known as the Cheetah, created by the Super Sulky Corporation. This drove Super Sulky out of business. In response, Super Sulky brought suit against the USTA and numerous other defendants under §§ 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, Ohio antitrust law, and Ohio law prohibiting tortious interference with business relationships and with contractual rights.
