Horsemen and private veterinarians are reminded that the Maryland Racing Commission has an online Injury Reporting Form that should be used to report injuries during track at all Thoroughbred tracks in the state.
“This is important in our effort to track training injuries,” MRC Executive Director Mike Hopkins said. “It's also important to see if there is a pattern of a type of injury and where it occurred on the racetrack.”
The form asks for basic information as well the location on the track where the injury occurred, the type of injury, whether radiographs were taken, and the veterinary diagnosis for the injury.
The reporting of injuries during training was part of a Nov. 10 discussion among horsemen and Maryland Jockey Club officials in relation to keeping the track maintenance abreast of any issues.
The form is available online at this link: https://forms.gle/uZo7bp1Xa23zJYqW6
