Lexington, KY–The final day of the Organization of Racing Investigators (ORI) Training Conference at Keeneland escalated the focus on enforcement and how investigators can broaden their expertise. Though participants regularly receive training at home, the ORI sessions offer equine knowledge that is highly specialized which can be taken back to their own jurisdictions and applied. Mike Singletary, vice president of security for the Maryland Jockey Club, said when his team walks the shedrow at Pimlico or Laurel being cognizant of your surroundings takes time and effort to hone. “Information is power and there is a lot of experience that comes to the conference,” Singletary said. “So, as you sit and listen to these speakers there are stewards here, equine vets here, and that's a major resource not just for me, but it's essential for my team when they go to a barn or a tack room. It's about developing an eye, so the horses are safe.” Florida Gaming Control Commission (FGCC) investigator Lisa Vila said her horizons were broadened by returning to the event. “The ORI conference presenters have given me tools to feel more confident around horses and the industry,” she said. “As an FGCC investigator, I'll be better prepared to protect the needs of our equine athletes and help identify the use of illegal performance-enhancing substances.” On Tuesday, topics ranged from horse traceability tools offered by The Jockey Club of America to how investigators can protect their own professional reputations in a social media-driven world. An update from Dr. Michael Hardy, executive director of the Racing Medication & Testing Consortium, yielded a survey of how laboratories rely heavily on investigators who collect evidence in real time. “I consider from a drug testing and an investigation standpoint, that those two are cornerstones when it comes to integrity in this sport,” he said. “The intelligence and the evidence that the investigative body provides to our laboratories as information goes a long way when it comes to enforcement. Substances that we don't necessarily know about can be uncovered because of shared information and intelligence. What we receive helps us focus the efforts of science and there are benefits when investigators catch what the laboratory simply can't.” Dr. Alina Vale, a veterinary forensic consultant, presented an overview of why necropsy reports can offer clues to the investigator when they are building a case. Speaking of cases, Shaun Richards–the current Director of Intelligence & Strategy for the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit–gave a detailed appraisal of the FBI takedown of trainers Jorge Navarro and Jason Servis. Richards's own knowledge of horses while growing up on a farm in New Jersey was part of a full-circle moment for the seasoned agent. After a law enforcement roundtable with local Lexington police officers who took questions about how they interact with Keeneland's staff to keep everyone safe, the audience had the opportunity to hear about how the track manages protocols on race days. Attendees were given a behind-the-scenes look into Keeneland's barn surveillance system. With a proactive approach to monitoring what is an expansive set of grounds, the some 700 backside cameras provide a digital layer to equine security. The 30th ORI Training Conference is set for Mar. 1-4 at Tampa Bay Downs, a track that will be celebrating a century of racing.
