• e-mail

Santa Anita was 200 yards from its only goal on Saturday night, celebrating an 出来事/事件-解放する／自由な 36th 子孫を作る人s' Cup.

But Mongolian Groom 苦しむing 致命的な hind-脚 傷害s 近づく the finish of the $6m Classic was a nightmare シナリオ for not only California's best-known 跡をつける but the sport of horseracing across the whole of America.

Instead of waking up to stories celebrating the winning 業績／成果 of Bricks And 迫撃砲, which probably earn him the prestigious 肩書を与える of Horse of The Year with victory in the Turf, the headlines were of the sport's 未来 存在 in 危険，危なくする.

Mongolian Groom was put 負かす／撃墜する at Santa Anita after 苦しむing untreatable hind 脚 fractures

USA Today 述べるd the 出来事/事件 played out on NBC one that would 'haunt horseracing'.

Mongolian Groom, who 支えるd hock and 大砲 bone 傷害s, was the 37th equine fatality at Santa Anita since ボクシング Day.

Ironically, The Stronach Group, which owns Santa Anita, have done more than any other racetrack in the US to try to 改善する equine safety.

Other 跡をつけるs are いっそう少なく than transparent about the number of fatalities they 支える.

支配するs on 医薬 have been 強化するd and その上の 改革（する）s are planned while exhaustive 査察s at this 会合 were 行為／行うd by a team of 30 vets - 含むing two seconded from the BHA.

X-rays showed Mongolian Groom had 支えるd fractures in his 大砲 bone and his hock

These 査察s p revented six horses, 含むing Aidan O'Brien's (n)艦隊／(a)素早いing and David O'Meara's Suedois from running.

A switch from the 伝統的な US Dirt racing surface to 取って代わる it with an all-天候 synthetic surfaces like those on Britain at 跡をつけるs, 一時的に tried before, could be considered again.

But US racing must now 直面する up to the reality that its lax 態度 to the use of 医薬 in the sport is coming home to roost.

選挙運動者s who are calling for change say the level of 対立, 特に from the 保守的な 地域s like Kentucky where a racing and 産む／飼育するing 産業 built in 医薬-fuelled racing, could 最終的に be more 損失ing to the sport than 出来事/事件s like Mongolian Groom's death.

Marty Irby of Animal Wellness 活動／戦闘 which has formed an 同盟 with racing 団体／死体s like The Stronach Group, the US (v)策を弄する／(n)騎手 Club and 子孫を作る人s' said the way 今後 must be The Horseracing 正直さ 行為／法令／行動する which 支持者s hope will pass 議会 next year.

Irby said: 'The 法案 捜し出すs to 保護する American racehorses through the 設立 of a 国家の, uniform 基準 for 麻薬s and 医薬 in horse racing.

'It would also 認める 麻薬 rulemaking, 実験（する）ing, and 施行 oversight to a 私的な, 非，不，無-利益（をあげる）, self-regulatory 独立した・無所属 organization managed by the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs Anti-麻薬ing 機関 (USADA) - the 治める／統治するing 団体／死体 that runs the Olympic anti-麻薬ing program.

The 会合 at Santa Anita has been under 激しい scrutiny during the 子孫を作る人s' Cup

'While many professional sports have taken 決定的な steps to rid their games of 違法な 麻薬ing, the racing 産業 continues to lag behind.

'There are 簡単に too many stakeholders like Churchill 負かす／撃墜するs - who owns and operates The Kentucky Derby - that 辞退する to support the 法律制定.?They appear to be 満足させるd with the status quo, which has led to the multitude of equine deaths this year.'?

The 代案／選択肢 is political 関与. With 圧力 in California from people like 上院議員 Dianne Feinstein who has questioned the sport's 未来 that is not something racing can afford.

Santa Anita raced for last time on Sunday until ボクシング Day. What happened in the 介入するing weeks will have a 耐えるing on this beautiful 跡をつける's 未来.

Europe's 子孫を作る人s' Cup challenge did not look strong on paper and it was left to Joseph O'Brien to save the day.

The 26-year-old became the youngest trainer to 勝利，勝つ a 子孫を作る人s' Cup race when Wayne Lordan-ridden Iridessa landed the Filly & 損なう Turf.

Third-placed 勝利者 Anthony 先頭 Dyck got a serious 勢い check when third in the Turf but it probably cost his second rather than first.

Joseph 長，率いるd straight to Australia from California where he will saddle four 走者s in the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday morning in his 試みる／企てる to 勝利，勝つ that 全世界の prize for a second time having landed it with Intricately in 2017.
