Safety Review of Horses at Santa Anita cont. ASpecifically, the horse safety review team will utilize a new, comprehensive evaluation rubric to determine if each individual horse is at elevated risk of injury before racing,@ according to the release. AThese criteria will include any history on the Veterinarian=s List and Steward=s List as well as any medical history, race history, and physical observations of the horse.@ Under the new protocol, every member of the review team must agree that a horse is not at elevated risk of injury in order to clear the horse to race. One dissenting member of the team can elicit a scratch. AThis is unprecedented in American horse racing,@ said Alexis Podesta, Secretary of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency, which oversees CHRB. ANever have we had this additional layer of review with a team of experts to connect data points and confer on the well-being and capability of individual racehorses. Furthermore, recommendations coming from this team will be the final word as to whether or not a horse races. I expect the industry as a whole will embrace this effort.@ AHorse and rider safety is our top priority at , and we remain steadfast in our commitment to making California horse racing the safest and best in the world,@ added TSG President and Chairwoman Belinda Stronach. AWe look forward to working with Governor Newsom and the California Horse Racing Board as they implement this additional layer of review through the end of our current meet.@ The review team will be in place for the final six days of the Santa Anita meet, which is scheduled to conclude June 23.

"Magna Grecia is nearly 100% but he won't be back in work until next Monday so we just ran out of time with regard to Royal Ascot," he said.

The latest foray in the decades long debate coming from former Racing Post editor and current contributor Bruce Millington, who suggested that sectional times are not "useful."

There is, without question, a cost. In a 2012 segment on At The Races (available here via YouTube) Willoughby offered the following: "The simple information of how fast or slow horses run compared to a benchmark for the course and distance is fundamental to appreciating not just racehorse merit, but pace as well." In our data-driven world, analytics are key to attracting betting, and more of it, on racing. The lack of a publication which shows the exact method by which sectional times predict who will win which race does not, on its own, suggest the practice is without merit. Royal Ascot will garner the attention of the world next week, and while sectional times have graced the five-day feature for some time, a more robust presentation would be welcomed.
