British Racing has launched a petition to stop the implementation of affordability checks.

It has been warned that these checks could have a 'catastrophic' impact on the industry.

Three treatments for naturally occurring carpal disease in Thoroughbreds were compared for efficacy: triamcinolone, hyaluronic acid, and 2.5% polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG). https://t.co/9JfejhzMdX

[Stephen Wensley @Stephen_Wensley]

We'd love Thoroughbred ex-racehorses that now live outside of Britain to be part of the census. If you own a horse that was bred for racing, in training or raced in Britain, please join in the census at https://t.co/UKwH2dq89T

Excellent talk from @CLHewittDedman at the Summer Scientific ARVS. Waving the flag for advanced imaging in pushing welfare of racehorses.

[Thoroughbred Health @ThoroughbredHN]

US’s EID evidence: Should we race 2 year olds? Yes. Could MS injuries be predicted? Yes, with >80% accuracy. Next steps to achieve this: injury prediction needs both training & racing data. Thus, stakeholder collaboration could advance science&practice🎯💪#AdvancedRacehorseHealth

[Paulick Report @paulickreport]

On The Friday Show, @raypaulick & @Joe_Nevills are joined by Dr. Tim Parkin (@tparkin69), consultant for The @jockeyclub's Equine Injury Database, to discuss the spike in fatal injuries at Churchill Downs & myth-bust some beliefs about what causes injuries https://t.co/qMDhzhVUUO

[Paulick Report @paulickreport]

According to analysis by the Paulick Report, the latter two policy changes regarding poor performance would only have prevented one of the 12 horses from starting in their last race. https://t.co/ASJBKcj0xf
