Listen "Rail Talk Episode 69: HISA Mythbusting"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Rail Talk! HISA CEO Lisa Lazarus and HIWU Executive Director Ben Mosier join Joe Bianca and Jon Green to correct some misconceptions about the new era of horse racing they’re ushering in and discuss all the progress being made to keep horses safer on the track.
How logical are provisional suspensions? Is contamination an explanation or an excuse for positive test findings? What’s being done to ensure labs are all singing from the same sheet? Lazarus and Mosier answer these hot-button questions before touching on exciting developments like Horse In-Sight, a new tool that gives veterinarians a full picture of a horse’s health before giving them the green light to race.
Joe and Jon also appreciate the war horses who competed in Saturday’s Claiming Crown before their first look-ahead to Kentucky Derby 151 analyzing notable 2-year-old performances from the weekend.
Nowhere else in racing are these kinds of substantive, consequential and honest discussions taking place.
