  • Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Act Advances In
    TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2020 HORSE RACING INTEGRITY FETLOCK ARTHRODESIS ADVANCES PROVIDE OPTIONS FOR INJURED HORSES AND SAFETY ACT by Dan Ross If pressed to pinpoint a single Achilles heel in the racehorse, ADVANCES IN CONGRESS it's probably a fair bet to assume many would zero in on the fetlock--the intricate joint mechanism that in a racehorse travelling at top speed proves especially vulnerable to system failure. Indeed, 19 of the 22 horses that suffered catastrophic musculoskeletal injuries at Santa Anita during its benighted winter-spring meet nearly two years ago had sesamoid fractures. In most cases, the prognosis for horses who suffer severe fetlock breakdowns is grim, but a procedure pioneered at the end of the 1970s called the fetlock arthrodesis suddenly provided a viable avenue to save some horses that would otherwise be euthanized.

With the omnibus spending bill having received bipartisan support and with President Donald J.

  • Guineas Weekend Marks Juddmonte Milestone Cont
    SATURDAY, 2 MAY 2020 GUINEAS WEEKEND MARKS CLASSICS PRIORITISED IN REVISED PATTERN PROGRAMME JUDDMONTE MILESTONE The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has issued an update from the Flat Pattern Committee which outlines a revised schedule of pattern and listed races for the end of May and early June. With the aim to "prioritise the Classics and other flagship races for horses most likely to provide a future fundamental role on behalf of the breed," the committee, working under a "best-case scenario" for a mid-May resumption of racing in Britain, is planning to rescue a number of abandoned races from the early part of the season. These include the G1 Lockinge S., originally schedule for May 16 but now likely to be run a fortnight later. Newmarket's and Newbury's Classic trials, the Craven S., Nell Gwyn S., Greenham S. and Fred Darling S., will be run on the same weekend but on different days. The Fred Darling is set to be run at a mile this year instead of seven furlongs and the G3 Palace House S. will be extended in distance to 5 1/2 furlongs. See page seven for the BHA=s provisional black-type plan.

  • Media Guide Welcome to Royal Ascot from Her Majesty’S Representative
    MEDIA GUIDE WELCOME TO ROYAL ASCOT FROM HER MAJESTY’S REPRESENTATIVE May I wish a warm welcome to the world’s media in this very special Diamond Jubilee year. Her Majesty The Queen has owned no fewer than 63 Ascot winners, 20 of them at the Royal Meeting, and it’s always a great thrill for everyone when the Royal colours are successful. It would be marvellous for that to happen this year. We recall the perfect timing in Silver Jubilee year when dual Classic-winning Dunfermline provided tremendous success for The Queen. As part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, we are staging a very special exhibition titled “60 years of Royal Ascot during the Reign of Her Majesty The Queen.” Situated beside the pre-parade ring, this is a photographic commemoration of the Royal Family at Ascot over the past 60 years. Central to the Royal Meeting is the fact that, on the track, we have the finest programme of races anywhere in the world. We have increased our prize money this year by £715,000 and now offer £4.5 million across the 30 races of the five-day meeting. None of the races are worth less than £55,000. Two of our races offer prize money of £500,000 each. We have renamed The Golden Jubilee Stakes. From this year it is The Diamond Jubilee Stakes and with prize money of £500,000 it is Britain’s most valuable sprint race. Royal Ascot’s two legs of the Global Sprint Challenge, The King’s Stand Stakes on Tuesday and The Diamond Jubilee Stakes on Saturday, will again feature a truly cosmopolitan field of runners.
