The eighth Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit, to be held Wednesday, June 27, 2018, at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky., will update the industry on findings in the areas of equine injury statistics and jockey safety, as well as touch on other points of interest including the integrity of racing and the role of trainers in ensuring equine safety. The full agenda with a list of speakers is available here.

The summit, which brings together a cross-section of the breeding, racing and veterinary communities, again will be underwritten and coordinated by The Jockey Club and Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation and hosted by the Keeneland Association. It will be held in the Keeneland sales pavilion from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Those interested in attending the summit are encouraged to register at grayson-jockeyclub.org/WelfareSafety. As in previous years, a live webcast will be available.

“The Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit has proved to be an effective think-tank for the racing industry’s most critical safety issues,” said Edward L. Bowen, president of Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. “I am confident that this year’s meeting will continue that trend and affect positive change to support the sport’s athletes.”
