    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["These small stress fractures make bones vulnerable to uneven loading. This is where the track comes in. An even, consistent surface does not present the uneven foot plants and abnormal stresses that an inconsistent surface does. That is where the artificial surfaces have an advantage. They are consistent for the top seven inches or so. Dirt tracks are layered, and the cushion and base can vary more readily, leading to uneven landings for the horse’s limbs at high speed. Most of the time the horse can compensate for these uneven spots, but sometimes the uneven spot, the horse’s balance, fatigue, and the presence of a small stress fracture combine to result in failure of the bone, as we know. We could race draft horses over most any surface, and their bones are strong enough it wouldn’t matter. But, the thoroughbred maintains only the minimum skeleton that is sufficient to carry them around the track. Excess skeleton is added weight and penalized the horse’s speed. So, the light skeleton is a speed advantage, unless it gets too light to carry its owner, and then it fails. This is why we will never eliminate injuries totally. Success is predicated on the fact that our athletes carry the minimum skeleton necessary. They run right on the edge of their physiology. But, we have the obligation to mitigate anything in our power that may make it safer for them."]]></description>

    <link>https://www.drf.com/news/jockey-club-safety-committee-releases-guidance-bisphosphonates</link>
    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The recommendations, which were approved by The Jockey Club’s Thoroughbred Safety Committee at a meeting on March 19, The Jockey Club said, fall in line with calls by other organizations over the past two weeks to adopt policies and protocols that would address breakdowns at racetracks. The racing industry as a whole has been prodded into the review by an outcry over a recent spate of deaths at Santa Anita Park in Southern California. The recommendation on bisphosphonates dovetails with an announcement earlier this week that North America’s three largest auction companies will put in place programs later this year allowing buyers to order post-sale tests to detect the drugs. Under the programs, if a horse tests positive for bisphosphonates, buyers will be able to return the horse to the consignor."]]></description>

    <link>http://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/mid-atlantic-horsemen-to-call-for-partial-bisphosphonate-ban/</link>
    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[1. "We're going to be adopting a strategic plan to reduce equine fatalities that we actually began initiating two years ago," Foreman said. "Many of the reforms have already been implemented. We are going to move to ask for a ban of this drug [Bisphosphonate] at the meeting and I'd be shocked if it didn’t pass. This is a bad drug and everybody has been talking about it for a long time. We're going to take action. We're going to ban it in the Mid-Atlantic and we're going to go to the RCI to ask that it be banned nationally, and we are going to ask all industry stakeholders to join us in our efforts."

2. "Whether or not Bisphosphonate played any role in the breakdowns in California remains anyone's guess. But many in the industry are convinced that the drug is being misused at the sales, that breeders or consignors are giving it to their horses so that their bones look stronger than they may have otherwise when x-rays are taken to show potential buyers. If that is the case, Bisphosphonate has potential to be a ticking timebomb that could cause the same yearling to have bone problems during its career and potentially lead to a breakdown."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Dr. Palmer says equine heart attacks play a small role in the number of racetrack fatalities. He estimates that about four percent of the 102 deaths at New York tracks in 2015 were caused by a cardiovascular incident. That amounts to about four deaths a year. Yet, given the technological advances that have simplified the process, he believes horsemen and veterinarians should make use of them to better safeguard the health of their equine runners."]]></description>

Bone is very dynamic. It’s laid down where it’s needed and taken away where it’s not.”]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“This perception that you shouldn’t be racing 2-year-olds, I have to say again and again, it’s a total misperception,” Parkin said. “The earlier you start racing a horse the better for their long-term career in terms of their bone health. I’m not saying that you should hammer a 2-year-old too frequently, but certainly exercise at an early age is a good thing for the racehorse, and this is borne out by these data.”

Also: “There are bound to be unmeasured variables that we haven’t taken into account, and there are tons of them if you think about it,” Parkin added, pointing to detailed training records, medical records, and a horse’s race-day health status as examples of current unknowns. “Things that we don’t have access to are bound to be associated with risk,” Parkin said. “The availability of medical and treatment records, we believe, is critical.”]]></description>

Also: "Bramlage also recommended that racetracks 'entertain' the idea of allowing for both left-handed and right-handed training, as studies seem to suggest that horses’ musculoskeletal systems would benefit from the variation, he said. He also said it would be reasonable for trainers to modify the gaits that their horses use and require them to perform different exercises than just running around the track in order to allow for more complete growth of bone to handle different and unexpected stresses and loads that can arise during a race ..."]]></description>

'But in this study there was a very high percentage that bled early in their careers.'

Geldings had significantly (P<0.001) longer careers than females and intact males, and females had significantly (P<0.001) longer careers than intact males. Risk of retirement from racing decreased with a younger age at first start, a higher number of starts as a 2-year-old, and a longer average distance raced. For intact males, the risk of retirement from racing increased as earnings increased, while for females and geldings the risk of retirement from racing decreased as earnings increased."]]></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>

    <title>Racing officials: Number of sudden deaths in horses in California about normal</title>

    <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>

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>

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>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["One way veterinarians can facilitate change and promote ethical behavior is by charging for services, rather than only for dispensing medication -- a common practice among racetrack veterinarians. Such a change eliminates the perception that a veterinarian is simply out to sell a medication without regard for its necessity....  The public perception of medication use in racing is another big challenge practitioners face, Blea said, noting a Thoroughbred trainer once said that a good veterinarian with ethics is not going to do very well in racetrack practice. Blea said he takes exception to this trainer's opinion but also recognizes that ethical questions remain among the toughest to address."]]></description>

The report stressed, however, that the panel's recommendations addressed problems not specific to New York. Ultimately, the inevitable and most-important result will be long-overdue medication reform, the structure of which was raised earlier this year by the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, which has been ahead of the curve on this issue for some time. The panel's recommendations have been widely embraced by horsemen if not the veterinary community."]]></description>

I highly recommend it -- at least the first 99 pages or so, before the Appendix. It serves not only as a meticulous, fair-minded investigation of what transpired and why the task force believed that 11 of the 21 deaths (or "more than half," in the more sensationalized world of the New York Times) that were probed might have been prevented.  It also serves as a primer on the common factors found in catastrophic equine injuries and, especially, on the medications that horsemen use to try and keep their horses earning money on the track.  And also as a disturbing portrayal of a disorganized and inexperienced NYRA veterinary staff that sounds dysfunctional enough to work in the state capitol."]]></description>

Also, NYRA’s vets were 'instructed that significant findings, such as detection of heat/fever in a limb, resistance to palpation or flexion, or subtle lamenesses, were not to be included in a horse's regulatory record,' perhaps because of concerns over how that would affect claiming activity."]]></description>

I still look at horses as livestock. But the public doesn’t look at it that way. It’s not our own standards we have to satisfy. It’s the people who are paying to put on the sport."]]></description>

That’s a pretty good sign that the report was indeed independent of undue political influence and probably makes sense. That’s what can happen when you give well-informed experts, rather than power brokers and zealots, the time and resources to investigate fully and fairly and make constructive decisions based on facts and science. It might even be the way to run racing going forward."]]></description>

    <title>Some Aqueduct deaths could have been avoided, report says</title>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The factors included indications of unsoundness that were evident to jockeys on two of the horses that died, the report said. In addition, a number of the horses had been treated with multiple painkillers while training prior to their fatal starts, a treatment regimen that may have complicated the ability of veterinarians and the trainers of claimed horses to recognize musculoskeletal problems that would have otherwise been evident. The report raises serious questions about the state of horsemanship on the backstretches of New York racetracks, although it is likely that those same questions exist within the entire U.S. racing industry. As a whole, the report – which states that no single factor could be found to account for the spate of deaths – paints a picture of a racing industry in which legal medications, especially painkillers, are routinely administered to horses while racing and training regardless of whether horses have been found with problems."]]></description>
