NY TIMES: FOR HORSE & JOCKEY, RISKS VARY BY STATE
Kentucky does comparatively well in regards to injuries received by horses or jockeys at race tracks, with Turfway Park placing third out of four KY tracks analyzed by the Times:
To assess how often horses break down or get injured, The Times purchased official data covering more than 150,000 race results from 2009 through 2011. The data are compiled by trained “chart callers,” and used to compile result charts that bettors use to evaluate horses. The Times searched the data for terms indicating that a horse encountered a physical problem: broke down, vanned off, injured, lame, euthanized, died, collapsed, bleeding or went wrong.
Turfway saw 3.3 incidents per every one-thousand starts while Ellis Park saw 5.1, Churchill Downs saw 4.5, and Keeneland saw 1.6. Read the state-by-state findings here and see how the Times reached its results here
