The Kentucky Derby, which are executed on May 4 for the 145th time, the oldest continuous sporting event in the United States is under way this year, however, the talk of mint cocktail, stylish hats and Triple Crown dreams it can be achieved by interfering tide of dead shadows of horses made – and fresh calls to regulate the sport. April died nearly two dozen thoroughbred horses between late December and early during the race or training in California Santa Anita Park. The cause of the fatal injury is not known, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney is investigating the death. As with all horses wounded several factors are in play, security experts say, including heavy rainfall events that have affected the road surface. The track closed for many March down and took over new policies, including the use of drugs on the ban on race day and increasing the time needed for the horses on site-to-be a race before. that – “While the cause of the track injuries could be varied, they have one thing in common, the industry has yet to do anything that can be done to prevent,” wrote Belinda Stronach, President and Chairman of the Stronach group Santa Anita – in an open letter of March. “This changes now.” This is a small beginning. But the reforms on a track probably will not be enough to solve the systemic problems of sport. Last year, 493 horses died or were killed within 72 hours of a catastrophic injury race. It is about 10 horses a week. In the last ten years, for a total of 6,134 horses they died. The budget does not include deaths from training. PETA and other advocates of animal welfare decreases. For example, draw the horse racing organizations say many dead horses are preventable. In March, the Jockey Club, which keeps the system for thoroughbred horses Registry, a damning report published to call the sport to tolerate doping substances and are racehorses pain of pre-existing injury boring doctor. “The question is not of a single track,” the report said. “Dead Horse is a nationwide problem, one that has shocked fans, the industry, the regulator and the public.” A review of the sector would be difficult if not impossible to implement because the horse races do not have any national control element. The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), the best security practices is, has no teeth to mandate them. Instead cart racing jurisdictions 38 their standards. “We are more of a carrot than the stick organization,” said Steve Cook, accredited by NTRA CEO of the security and integrity of Alliance, the 23 titles. Other 40 tracks are dedicated to be accredited, while others not involved in the alliance at all. “We’re making progress, but we are not there yet.” Federal Supervision is still far away. The Integrity Act of 2019 horses was introduced in the House earlier this year for a, horse racing, private and independent of establishing anti-doping authorities. It has 69 co-sponsors, but did not have the full support from the industry. Earlier versions of the legislation are not even able to make progress in Congress. History has shown that triggered the death of the roll-out reforms horse slow and inconsistent from state to state and from track to track. For example, after the beloved thoroughbred Barbaro and died eight Belles in the late 2000s, the fatal injuries of the US sector of the track started to collect data for each. Today, every track has reported of injury death rates in a national database. But only a handful of making these public figures. In Kentucky, Keeneland and Turfway Park, both public report. But Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, do not. In March, the Louisville Courier-Journal through a public records request discovered that the death rate at Churchill Downs was 2.73 per 1000 races last year began more than 60% above the national average. Track a list of safety initiatives that support the Derby released in the next few years, plans and a declaration of Churchill Downs Inc. CEO Bill Carstanjen: “As the host of the Kentucky Derby and key leaders in the racing industry, Churchill Downs increased responsibility for global best practices for the care of racehorses in our facilities for implementation. “the NTRA the chef believes that curbing efforts over the past decade, such as performance-enhancing drugs and the development of protocols veterinarian made the difference. While the stroke death rate in the United States, increased by 4% in 2018 over the previous year, the death rate is 16% actually decreased since 2009, launch of two deaths per 1,000 races in 2009 to 1, 68 last year. It could be another change in progress. In mid-April he has committed 20 major brands to eliminate a drug called Lasix gradually in the coming years. Lasix is a rare lung disease, but according to the Jockey Club, will be given to approximately 95% of horses on race day because it causes urination. Lighter and faster, the horses perform better, but need to recover and rehydrate days. Good news leads to the Kentucky Derby. This year, as every year, America will fall – and bet on – the thoroughbreds at Churchill Downs. Now the travel industry is to keep under pressure to come. Picture copyright by Sean M.
