That is not to say, however, that this could not have been handled in a better way by the CHRB."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This [Justify/CHRB] event was especially troubling for me, because I have written on numerous occasions how ineffectual and unprofessional many state racing regulatory agencies are and how poorly they collectively serve the Thoroughbred racing industry. I had always considered the CHRB to be one of the better ones. However, this, along with the serious issues that Santa Anita faced this winter, convinces me that we need a centralized national organization to manage integrity issues that are stipulated  in the Horseracing Integrity Act of 2019."]]></description>

When asked why the board unanimously decided to support moving on, as reported in the Times, Maas walked a tightrope that hinted it might have unfolded differently. 'Without violating any closed-session rules, it's fair to say what was presented to us was an open-and-closed investigation that had come to a conclusion,' Maas said. 'That's about as much as I can say.' That's the thorny no-win scenario when transparency takes the day off, particularly when a Triple Crown winner is called into question."]]></description>

I'm not saying that's what they did, but that's the appearance," Gorajec said. "Regulators have a duty; this isn't a country club they're running. They have a public trust and the public is only going to trust them if they act in a manner that's fair, consistent, and subject to public scrutiny. What the CHRB did, may be fair, but it's not consistent and certainly wasn't open to public scrutiny."]]></description>

"Hide it, find out later, that's when you get the scandal. All these guys think if you keep the lid on stuff you'll be fine. It doesn't work. You can't keep the lid on anything in this world."

"The rule was if there was any of that (drug) found, you were disqualified and you had to give up the purse money. Then they never tell anybody that they found out about it. It's just real disappointing how we have different sets of rules for different people there in Santa Anita. The horse tested positive. Why didn't anybody know about it until now?"]]></description>

He also noted that when the positive is associated with jimson weed, as opposed to an administration of Buscopan, the lab indicates positives for both scopolamine and atropine, which was the case with Justify and five other horses that weekend. Finally, he noted that the level of scopolamine that showed up in Justify's blood test was much lower than what came back in his urine test, which he said was another factor indicating contamination."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[September 12, 2019 ARCI statement re: Justify/CHRB allegations: "The ARCI Classification and Penalty Guidelines classify scopolamine as a Class 4, Penalty Class C drug. According to the penalty guidelines, if this drug is found in a post race sample, the horse is to be disqualified and the owner loses the purse in the absence of mitigating circumstances. The exact language reads: 'Disqualification and loss of purse in the absence of mitigating circumstances. Horse must pass commission-approved examination before being eligible to run.' The ARCI has no direct knowledge of the specifics of the case involving Justify and does not assume the actions of the CHRB are inconsistent with the Model Rules standard. It is incumbent on the CHRB to release to the public as much information about why the recommended penalty mitigation was justified in order to lay to rest questions concerning this matter and to reinforce public confidence in its actions."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Whipping horses is something that was established in the stone age, when people cared a lot less about animal rights, cock fighting was legal, no one had ever heard of Michael Vick and when racing had a monopoly on legal gambling. Take the whip away from every jockey and you have a level playing field, the only thing a bettor, owner, trainer and even a jockey, should ask for. The main reason whipping is still allowed is because horse racing has an innate defect, an inability to change with the times. Not that we needed any more evidence, but the CHRB foolishly proved that point once again."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Baffert’s case is much different, much more serious because we’re dealing with the unexplained sudden deaths of seven racehorses in a short amount of time. But even though none of Baffert’s seven horses that died of sudden death syndrome showed any evidence of illegal drugs in their systems, the lynching party to hang Baffert for these deaths will continue if he, as expected, makes a run at the Triple Crown. Bottom line is the CHRB can’t suspend Baffert for horse deaths. If it turns out something nefarious was done to cause their deaths, and Baffert was responsible as the trainer of record, then the CHRB has something on him and should move on it the way they did with O’Neill. But Rick Arthur said Thursday that 'the work is done' regarding the necropsies and investigation into the deaths. While it looks terrible for Baffert to lose seven horses to sudden death in such a short period of time (16 months), no sanctions have been taken against him."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In the statement, Baffert said that he was working with 'everyone, including the California Horse Racing Board, my veterinarians and staff at the track to find the causes of the unexplained deaths.' Baffert has had at least two horses die of sudden death in the last five months. In November 2011, Baffert lost Irrefutable when the 5-year-old collapsed and died after finishing second in the Vernon Underwood Stakes at Hollywood Park."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["... the California Horse Racing Board’s Bo Derek and the state’s equine medical director, Dr. Rick Arthur, addressed the issue at the CHRB’s meeting Thursday at Santa Anita. They both said the 17 racehorses that have died thus far of sudden death in this fiscal year that ends June 30 are about normal. The state averages about 20 sudden death cases in thoroughbreds a year, Derek said." Also, re: Baffert: "All I know is they have a lot of horses and it’s hard to compare a trainer with a five- or six-horse barn and someone who has over 140 horses. We know he has good stock."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Thoroughbreds rarely die suddenly: a 2010 study in the Equine Veterinary Journal found that sudden death occurred in 9 percent of fatalities in California. Several trainers and owners said they could not remember losing a horse to a heart attack or an unexplained occurrence. 'I’ve had thousands of horses in my barn, and I’ve seen them die from colic or break bones or get an illness, but I don’t think there was but maybe one who just dropped dead,' said Gary Contessa, who has been training horses for 38 years, primarily in New York."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The CHRB has has not made public details on the names of the horses or the owners or trainers, but the Paulick Report learned through public record requests that seven of the sudden death horses over the past 18 months were trained by Bob Baffert. Most of the deaths of Baffert runners, with the exception of two horses who collapsed after a race, occurred during training hours. All of the Baffert horse deaths took place at the track now known as Betfair Hollywood Park."

Correction: http://www.paulickreport.com/news/ray-s-paddock/chrb-no-spike-in-sudden-equine-deaths/ "The California Horse Racing Board said the number of non-musculoskeletal sudden deaths of horses in racing and training at California racetracks has not spiked, contrary to an article published in the Paulick Report Wednesday. Dr. Rick Arthur, the CHRB’s equine medical director, said the number has been relatively constant over the last three years: 20 sudden death in fiscal year 2010-11; 19 in 2011-12; and 17 to date for 2012-13 (the fiscal year ends June 30)."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["California racing saw a sharp increase last year in the number of fatalities due to cardiac failures. Eleven horses were reported as having died in this manner during fiscal year 2012 (July 1 through June 30) compared with six for the same period in 2011 and four in 2009, according to a California Horse Racing Board postmortem annual report."

Correction: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/77495/no-spike-in-sudden-deaths-says-chrb "It is a statistical anomaly," said Arthur, the CHRB medical director, about the 11 cardiac failures listed in the postmortem report. "I believe it can be attributed to statistical variation from year to year, and that we are more intensely looking at sudden deaths. If you look at this category for this year, it will be between six and 10."]]></description>
