Thanksgiving week, the Friday Show looked back to recognize some of the events of this past year, from the outstanding to the dubious, bestowing Turkey Awards to the winners.
This week, we look ahead, putting together an early Christmas list of things we would like to see for the Thoroughbred industry in 2024 and beyond.
Paulick Report news editor Chelsea Hackbarth joins Ray Paulick in trying to determine whether some of our wishes are realistic or pie in the sky fantasy.
For example, can members of the American Graded Stakes Committee pull their noses out of their statistical binders long enough to ponder the question of whether their decisions are helping or hurting the long-term interests of the Thoroughbred breed?
Can critics of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority be persuaded to focus their energy in a positive way to make the national oversight body as effective as it can be instead of working to tear it down?
And can the movement by the veterinary community and others to employ wearable digital technology to help reduce injuries become a reality in the near future? The technology is there, but can it be ramped up to record data on all horses in all races and timed workouts throughout North America as the American Association of Equine Practitioners is proposing?
