Arima Kinen cont.

Ikee continued, AThere's no comparing his condition to what it was a year ago at this time.@ With regards to bidding his champion farewell, Ikee said: AHe almost retired last season, but I begged the owners to put it off a year. Win or lose, this will be his last race. But I don't think I'll have the luxury of dwelling in the emotions on the day of the race. I've got four other horses who will be in the race and to look after.@

Good as Gold... The Arima Kinen suffered a blow Thursday when Eishin Flash (Jpn) (King=s Best), also due to make his last run, was withdrawn due to a sprained fetlock. Nonetheless, the race also features defending champion and dual Classic winner (Jpn) (Stay Gold {Jpn}), who took the G1 in June, and will look to rebound from a recent 15th-place finish in the Japan Cup Nov. 24. He gets the services of Ryan Moore, who has enjoyed a stellar autumn in Japan with a pair of Group 1 victories. A duo with potential to hit the board at long odds are Tosen Jordan (Jpn) (Jungle Pocket {Jpn}) and Admire Rakti (Jpn) (Heart=s Cry {Jpn}). The former was the winner of the G1 Autumn in 2011, but hasn=t won since and struggled to Admire Rakti get back on track this Japan Racing Association summer when returning from a nine-month layoff. His last out third, beaten a neck, in the Japan Cup, however, indicates the 7-year-old still has some spark. While Tosen Jordan seeks to regain his best form, Admire Rakti seems to be just coming into his. He recorded his first group victory in his 18th start in the G3 Diamond S. at Tokyo in February, and has since finished fourth in the G1 Tenno Sho Spring and the Japan Cup last out. Australian jockey Craig Williams partnered Admire Rakti for the first time in the Japan Cup, and again in his final work for the race, and express confidence in his charge.

OPEN LETTER TO RACETRACK VETS I contend that every race day at every major racetrack in North America a trainer cheats by sending out a horse for competition in an illegally enhanced state. I further assert that the foreign substance(s) used on their horse in most instances was not obtained or administered by the veterinarian overseeing the horse's welfare at the barn of the trainer. Yet, if you ask racegoers (be they horseplayers or fans) who they feel is responsible for filling horses full of illegal substances, the majority would finger the veterinarian. Since vets are not the ones responsible for the preponderance of cheating taking place at American racetracks, why are they not leading the charge to clear up this misconception that paints them as the bad guys? The answers to that question are myriad. Here are a few: 1) they want to maintain an ongoing business relationship with a particular trainer, 2) they want to keep alive the notion among clients that they might have some secret sauce of their own in their little "black bag" and 3) they want to fly below the regulatory morass without having to dirty their hands. Racetrack vets have a singular focus: don't interrupt your income stream. Earnings for professional services rendered can be jeopardized by failing to comply with anything a trainer asks a vet to do and by encountering trouble from taking direct responsibility for a mistake with a regulatory body. Given the state of play, it is nothing if not astonishing that yet another year is about to go by without racetrack vets taking a meaningful positive step to advance the cause of their patient--the Thoroughbred racehorse. Racetrack vets earn income from the markup between the wholesale and retail cost of drugs, referrals to specialists or hospitals and by charging for diagnostics by use of their equipment, such as X-ray machines, ultra-sound scanners and endoscopes. If they get paid (which is never a given), they make a good living. But because of the convoluted manner they choose to structure their income stream, they inherently feel vulnerable. So they never want the boat rocked. In human medicine and in some rare instances on the backstretch, money is earned by charging a patient for services rendered. Physicians get paid for diagnosing ailments. Doctors do not normally operate a pharmacy, which in essence is what racetrack vets do.
