Took me a minute to dig up this thread...
Saturday we were at Colonial Downs. There was a horse entered in the 11th race, hadn't raced in TWO years. Program listed only one work this year. Anyway, as you might guess, the horse was eased in the stretch and taken off by ambulance. I was hopeful because he didn't seem to be in distress and walked on without assistance.
Anyway I emailed CD asking about him and what kind of vet checks he had, and received a very nice response from the veterinarian for the Racing Commission. He said the horse had been working up at Laurel, checked by vets there as well as the vets at Colonial and cleared for racing because the original injury appeared completely healed. The good news is the new injury was not severe and he'll be retired from racing.
I was impressed that they had the vet respond to my inquiry, nice job Colonial!

The veterinary staff of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission has added some additional protocols to its operations in an effort to cut down on the number of equine fatalities at the state's tracks.
