Might have been compacted. Anyway it's hard to tell what it was like just looking a race video. The Jockeys were keen to continue. What I've seen closeup of some of these slips is that often they are isolated and relate to one horse rather than a wide ranging problem involving a number of horses. If the horse had not become unbalanced it probably wouldn't have slipped. Why didn't the Jockey keep pushing down the outside? Or did the horse duck in? If it hadn't of slipped then the races would have continued. Odds are there wouldn't have been another slip. Again just speculation. If the riders were all in agreement that they could ride a safe AND competitive manner then surely they'd have a better idea than the Stipe? Given the wide variance in skill level and competitiveness where do you set the line? If you set the line too low then you'd never have another meeting on those tight West Coast circuits. -
It appears a significant slip. Quite a large chunk of turf dislodged. And there was evidently a second slip mark. If it was on the inside of the trial track, why would that be more slippery than anywhere else? Rougher maybe but surely not more slippery. Also, if it were then you'd hardly think the jockeys would be ok to ride if they only had a 10m strip they could safely ride on there, though if that was the plan then it makes some sense that the stipes overrode them because that would clearly make continuing such that stewards could not be satisfied that the track was in a "suitable condition that riders could ride in a safe and competitive manner, so the decision was made to abandon the meeting." -

The racing team at Horseshoe Indianapolis has donated a record $10,582.30 to assist Helping Veterans and Families (HVAF) of Central Indiana, the track announced Wednesday. The team, which holds various fundraisers throughout the year, visited the facility Wednesday to make the official donation to HVAF. “Lending our support to veterans has become very important to our team members and racing fans,” said Horseshoe Indy's Vice President and General Manager of Racing Eric Halstrom. “We saw an immense need from HVAF a few years ago, and the requests and individuals who are searching for assistance continues to grow. We are committed to helping our veterans and HVAF cover the increased need annually and are very proud to donate a record amount to HVAF this season from our racing events.” Ashlee Walls-Pierce, Vice President of Advancement at the HVAF, added: “Over the past five years, we have seen both our need and awareness of HVAF grow. We saw a jump in support before the fire (October 26, 2024). After we experienced that great loss, people have really stepped up to help. It's given us a chance to educate folks on homelessness and needs of our veterans.” Walls-Pierce noted due to the fire, 48 veterans were displaced from the housing section of HVAF. Within the past 10 days, the final 10 veterans have been placed in housing, which has freed up space to accept additional veterans in need. “When the fire struck, we had to stop enrollment,” added Walls-Pierce. “Now, we are taking new applicants again. We dispersed more than 100,000 pounds of food and clothing last year, so there is a great need to assist veterans in our area. We serve between 240 to 260 veterans a month in our food and clothing pantry alone.” The donation from Horseshoe Indianapolis will go directly to assist with various veteran needs that extend past basic food and clothing necessities. HVAF also provides workforce development which includes career training and placement for those veterans seeking employment. A total of 326 veterans received employment services last year. HVAF also provides street outreach to seek out veterans in homeless camps, providing delivery of essentials, such as food, clothing, and hygiene items. “We have embraced the initiatives of HVAF, and we want to support them in any way we can,” added Halstrom. “We have already started working on our promotional racing calendar for 2025 and have identified a few new ways to raise funding and awareness for the organization. We have a lot of veterans on our work force and in our barn area, so this cause is very personal to many of us at Horseshoe Indianapolis.” The post Horseshoe Indy Donates Record Amount To HVAF Of Central Indiana appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
