Keeneland. I believe now they have had some rain (don’t recall).
I will hand it to Keeneland in transparancy.
Every day of the meet they list (as well as Current Figures which today is for October)
Number of Horses on Track
Number of Horses with Timed Workout
Number of Starters
Dirt Moisture Content
Turf Moisture Content
Number of Incidents
For every Incident (not sure exactly what qualifies as an Incident) they provide the Incident Report (not the necropsy as that may not have even yet been performed).
4 Incidents in October.
Yesterday’s Incident shows the horse’s name, race including surface, age, trainer, attending vet, injury details (catastrophic injury to LF) with a short updated note on the jockey, Adam Beschizza, who suffered a broken collarbone. For Triggerman in the 5th, track was rated as Good.
10/5: Portal was eased up and given a courtesy ride to the barn (race 3 on dirt).
10/4 (opening day): 2, one of which was covered here to Stella de’Oro; turf, catastrophic injury to LF. Second was Fast Dreamer, dirt, catastrophic injury to RF.
No commonalities with either trainer or attending vet across the 4 horses.
Of the 3 fatalities, 2 were turf.
I know 0 is unachievable. However, Keeneland is putting itself out there with at least some of the statistics that aren’t necessarily horse stats but track stats (how many horses, workouts, starters, moisture content). At least they are not just saying transparency, they are showing at least some of it. Don’t know if/when forensic necropsy results will be completed and/or made available.
