US track bans race-day drugs, whips after 22nd horse death March 15, 2019 — 9.17am Leave a comment Los Angeles: Santa Anita Park suffered a 22nd horse fatality since December 22 on Thursday (US time), just one day after the main track was reopened for training. The horse suffered a severe injury and was euthanised. Princess Lili B broke both front legs at the conclusion of an 800-metre workout. A horse stands idle in a barn at Santa Anita Park.CREDIT:APIt was only the second day of training on the main track after Santa Anita suspended racing last week in response to the previous deaths. In a statement, the track's operator, the Stronach Group, said it was moving immediately to ban the use of race-day medications and jockey whips. Advertisement No definitive reason for the rash of horse fatalities has been identified. "What has happened at Santa Anita over the last few weeks is beyond heartbreaking. It is unacceptable to the public and, as people who deeply love horses, to everyone at The Stronach Group and Santa Anita," said Stronach Group chairman and president Belinda Stronach in the statement. Santa Anita was closed after a spate of horse deaths since late last year.CREDIT:AP "Today, I’m announcing The Stronach Group will take the unprecedented step of declaring a zero tolerance for race day medication at Santa Anita Park and Golden Gate Fields. "We have arrived at a watershed moment. The Stronach Group has long been a strong advocate for the abolishment of race-day medication, but we will wait no longer for the industry to come together as one to institute these changes. "Nor will we wait for the legislation required to undertake this paradigm shift. We are taking a stand and fully recognise just how disruptive this might be. "Additionally, it is time to address the growing concern about use of the riding crop. A cushion crop should only be used as a corrective safety measure. "While we firmly believe our jockeys have not purposely been mistreating their mounts, it is time to make this change. "Ultimately, we recognise the owners and trainers of these horses have the final responsibility to assess their fitness for racing and training. Our goal is to make every resource available to aid them in that determination. We are all in this together to make the horse the first priority." After repeated inspections and dirt sampling, the rehiring of track consultant Dennis Moore and enhanced safety protocols, Santa Anita has been trying to move toward a resumption of racing on March 22. RELATED ARTICLE ANIMAL RIGHTS An industry could be riding to its doom Add to shortlist In all, 196 horses safely worked out at the track when it reopened on Wednesday (US time), according to a Santa Anita spokesman - 112 on the main track and 84 on the training track, a softer course where there has yet to be a fatal injury during the American winter/spring meet. Changes instituted by Santa Anita in response to the deaths included a requirement that trainers give 24-hour notice on workout requests so that veterinarians can review horses in advance and spot possible concerns. Santa Anita continued to conduct training workouts after the latest injury. The injuries, though, have many long-time horsemen voicing concerns. "It's mind-boggling to me," said trainer Art Sherman, who trained Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome. "I've never seen this as long as I've been around. In horse racing, you're always going to have accidents. "I don't know what to make of it. I'm at Los Alamitos, and we haven't had any problem at all. It's scary seeing all these breakdowns."

It beggars belief he didn't get all the Apps together to coach them up about the tight Coast courses over New Year...

You're absolutely correct SLB... It all started a few years back when I had the audacity to say 3yo's strengthen up against older horses as the season marches on... especially after Xmas...and that Black Type form is Gold... It was a kick off to swap basic punting strategies 101... ...ever since Then the Statsman can't leave me alone and insists he's a winner...and moi's basic accepted strategy is a road paved with Onehunga weed... Of course Bazz is quite entitled to have his "horrendous runs" with his philosophy... ...but leave me out of that thanks... Those two have all the answers apparently and us mere mortals are funding their decadent lifestyle... who knew?

Moi can only assume you love drivel then Wes...you can't get enough of moi...like the countless pm's I receive telling me to "keep it up"... .Are you jealous I'm much loved here?? ...and if you're suggesting I didn't tip that MASTERCLASS before the event...then its FAKE news ...and that's now illegal in Singapore...so ya better watch out...ok? btw...where are these "offensive" posts of mine you keep complaining about? The Sports Illustrated shots of beautiful tennis players that can be purchased at the corner Dairy you mean?

Make that Sep. 26! Months away! In time for the MEL. Cup season..too smart

You're very welcome here Herman... ..but please don't corrupt my threads with extraneous rubbish that's has nothing to do with the thread heading thanks

Weird...I could have sworn I said... "winning horses" ...horses who have won a race...not last start winners...a MAJOR difference...as opposed to maidens who could have Blinkers applied as a last resort Trainers are desperate if they try BLinkers on 1st time on last start winners...either a last start Maiden winner or a race of far inferior class....trying to squeeze more juice out...probably into a Black Type race... Totes different to Ear muffs...on a Black Type winner...into a G1 as a HOT fav... Such as Waller and J Mak did...working together for an "incredible" difference... As BETFEAR has shown you Blinkers have a POSITIVE ROI...and that's not even actioning moi's area of 'discerning' Blinker admin... ...you know...taking into wide without cover, unlucky et el... ...things you haven't a clue about when it comes to superior form analysis And BLINKERS fresh up is well recognised as serious consideration 'form analysis' Learn English and then wake up is moi's advice

What are you on about? Many industries are supported by Government... The Americas Cup, Sky Convention Centre, Tiwai Point...hell the Film Industry... ....for the greater OVERALL good...imagine how many LESS tourist dollars would have gone elsewhere without LOTR... Winn has recently travelled to Ireland to discover why their Racing Industry is so much better than ours... Hes probably had a wee meeting with Dean Mak about it... As Messiah says...the Thoroughbred Industry should be able in charge of its own destiny... Imagine Ireland have a poisoned Harness chalice hanging around its neck? Its inconceivable

Should be a goody

Exactly ATA... Its pretty clear some such as REDZEL need them on all the time... My modus is clearly on again off again... Especially so fresh up with Blinkers...it's been proven time and again Trainers don't apply Blinkers fresh up on winning horses unless they're on the job...

14 hours ago, Freda said: "Why do you two - and others - give him air? deprive him of the attention he craves and he might just go away painlessly...!" Fair enough...she thinks a nameless Neville no name craves attention...she doesn't want me to have air...might as well drift away painlessly without it I guess... ...a bit like you Bazz... ...what's wrong with suggesting you two deserve each other in a sand pit?

I see Bakar's off to Mork Walker in Singapore... ...they don't mind Jocks giving them a good sorting out up there to be fear...

She's a Zed...they can go alllll dayyyy long can't they? And she's "a big strong girl" according to Maks feel... ...then the muffs have been "incredible" at settling her Looking pretty positive I'd say..

Onya bazz...Go and destroy another one why don't you I said the TT science I showed... As for BO and WO...every Punter knows first or second up is the time to get on... ...the surprise can wear off..hence Trainers playing with their minds like I'm spanking yours Now off you go and play with Freda in the sand pit...your trainer buddy...enjoy

Sensational input Bazz... a lass...na Dama Zorro had none...but since the TT went on...nek minute 2wins 3 seconds from 5 starts... You remember the scientific study...by a real scientist? TT has the highest rate of improvement...especially 3 start onwards...moving forward...looking ahead just get on...or off on that bazz However good on you for bringing up the BO Woodsy's neddy won with them on... Midgets neddy won with them 2nd up...after being caught wide without cover first up ...and KINGSGUARD first up in BO's close cuzzie Winkers You know the BP...Aussie form in the G1 Toorak...unlucky App on, Winkers on first up...14's wayyyy overs just get on

So the Stipes couldn't help but notice a 32.5 last 600M is pretty incredible...and they were all day... So they've asked the Track Manager to go back and measure his distances at the 9.5M rail position...so he's out there now with his wee yellow measuring wheel... Whats the betting he's screwed up? A similar request was made of the Tauranga trackman back in January Sure enough...neither the hopeless non transparent RIU or the Club... ....didn't bother announcing the result of the 'Inquiry' Talk about useless...just do it this time boys... thanks

We need something like the Sth African system...which may be an expensive step too far... ...but definitely something more thorough and organised like the Racing Vic program Apprentice Jockey Training Program The Racing Victoria (RV) Apprentice Jockey Training Program (AJTP) aims to develop professional athletes for an international career in the racing industry. The program is conducted with partners including the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) and Exercise Research Australia (ERA). The AJTP is a high-performance athlete program that operates in a continuous improvement environment. Graduates will earn the: Certificate IV in Racing - Jockey The program also currently delivers/provides the following across the 4 years: 1. National Illicit Drugs in Sport (IDiS) Program 2. Specialist Providers Apprentice Jockey Coaches Athlete Development and Industry Careers Advisor Jockey Wellbeing and Safety Officer Stipendiary Steward attached to the program Office of the Racing Integrity Commissioner Sports Science and Sports Medicine (Psychology, Nutrition, Physiotherapy, Chief Medical Officer,) Exercise Research Australia (ERA) and the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) provide services and access to other sport high-performance athletes and role models Race Riding, Performance Analysis Media, Finance and Business skills Defensive Driver Training (Murcotts Driver Excellence) As athletes in all sports have to make a decision about how long they are able to compete, apprentices will also be supported to undertake further education and training to prepare for and transition to a career post riding from day one. The career benefits for leading jockeys can be significant as jockeys earn riding fees and receive a percentage of prize money so the program will also prepare athletes to manage this.

Ain't that the truth... Sherwin is your straight stats man with the detail...but he's as dry az Cooksley who's swallowed a teaspoon of tumeric powder There's only room for ONE of those.... There needs to be a few fart, horse shit, ribald, rollicking even small proboscis type jokes... Kemmys could do that... ...an ex woman Jockey who crosses her legs beautifully... ..just like the Oz one..nothing wrong with that... ...Sam Sprat type...can't be current due to the sucking up nature.. ...and Guerin could be the Woman's crumpet bit...top two buttons undone and a Gold chain... Get On's like that...but they also need a Woman...to slap Ritcho's head...like a cookie boy...

So the massive problem with having Harness men on a Thoroughbred Review show... ..while they have 'knowledge' of Thoroughbreds...these two can't devote their entire time to our code Hence ignoring things like Bakar winning the race narrowly...while breaking the whip rules Finer details like that go out the door.... Perhaps the Boys Wear Plaid Kemmys could be the go He has some knowledge by now...and could add a whole refreshing new age view on things That could be a master stroke...after all Shelton has a very flat straight down the line personality Soory Shelt...nothing personal...but this show needs PERSONALITY

Ok maybe you're not realising it's April fool Waller inherited that nose roll... He had to get a feel for the neddy's needs for a few starts obviously Taking a trail is 3/4 th with cover...anything else is taking cover It was probably a throw away line from a Mak wrt Blinkers...in the euphoria Thers no way Waller will Blinker her up after winning so well...to risk it all If she tosses away the Oaks by running around like Saturday... ...then why not try her in VB's for a start...or Winkers

Yea yea we get it... April 1 hahahahaha
