    • Well, they were right if that is the case.
    • Wrt barrier certificates I think so.  You used to be able to get barrier certificates from the old wooden gates but not now, the overhead ones must be used and licensed riders. That was the problem with a horse I inherited  as he wouldn't accept the overhead gates and there was no opportunity to work with him in those gates other than at trials or official jumpouts.  So I had to send him to Wingatui where those gates were available any time wanted.

    • Kentucky Derby and Oaks-winning jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. will be the Keynote Speaker at Race for Grace–hosted by the Kentucky Race Track Chaplaincy–to be held on Apr. 28 at Churchill Downs. Held in a new space at Churchill's First Turn Club, the event will feature a silent and live auction including items such as 2026 Kentucky Derby and Oaks boxes and the Derby contender's halters, a Keeneland package, many golf packages, horse racing art and memorabilia as well as trips to Mexico, a Montana Cabin vacation. In 2024, Hernandez became the ninth jockey in history, and the first since 2009, to win both the Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby in the same year. He piloted Thorpedo Anna to victory in the Oaks and guided Mystik Dan to a memorable win in the Derby, both horses trained by Ken McPeek. For an invitation to Race for Grace and more information about sponsorships, please contact: Tara Kremer, Event Manager, Email raceforgrace@kychaplaincy.org For more information, please visit the Kentucky Chaplaincy website at https://kychaplaincy.org.   The post Hernandez Jr. Named Keynote Speaker at Race For Grace Event Apr. 28 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Assessing the data amassed by the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority for the 2024 season, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association's Tom Rooney weighed in on the progress made in racing-related fatal injuries since HISA entered the picture. For the first time since the data has been tracked and recorded, the rate fell below 1.00 per 1000 starts for the 2024 calendar year. “HISA has been a clear game changer for Thoroughbred racing and its programs are working,” said Tom Rooney, NTRA President and CEO. “It is important to not lose sight of progress in the pursuit of perfection but we have made tremendous strides toward increasing the safety and welfare of our horses and jockeys. This would not have been possible without the collaboration from all industry stakeholders as we all work together to keep moving the sport forward.” He continued, “On behalf of all of our member organizations, we commend Lisa Lazarus and her team on their work to date, while recognizing that there is still much to do together. We also want to thank the leadership in Washington that came together to help pass the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Act that created HISA in 2020. The results from 2024 reinforce their decision to support that legislation and they also show how important it is for us to continue to support HISA and its mission.” In advance of this year's Triple Crown, the NTRA plans to relaunch its 2024 advertising campaign, “Safety Runs First“. The campaign is designed to increase public awareness and appreciation of Thoroughbred racing's commitment, investment and progress in advancing equine and human safety throughout the sport. “It is our collective responsibility to keep racing fans and the general public informed about the progress we've made,” Rooney added. “The Triple Crown season provides maximum visibility for us to promote the sport's ongoing commitment to progress and to highlight recent advances in keeping our athletes safe.” The post NTRA Weighs in On HISA’s 2024 Data on Safety appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
