With a view to pulling the veil back on the whys and wherefores of their operations, a representative of either the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) Authority or the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit (HIWU) will every week answer a question of industry importance posed by the TDN. If you have any questions you'd like to ask HISA or HIWU, please feel free to send them over to us at the following email address: danross@thetdn.com The following was submitted by Dan Moretti (a minority owner in a racehorse).Q: Are breakdown stats for each trainer publicly available, as it is through the California Horse Racing Board? For example, can I see for a specific trainer the number of breakdowns and the details of each horse and incident? If not, can this information be made available on the HISA website? A: From a HISA spokesperson.While HISA does not currently make individuals statistics by trainer available, HISA's quarterly and annual metric reports provide a wealth of information to the public regarding equine fatalities. These reports continue to evolve, and more information is being made available each year.Internally, HISA is monitoring trainer injury and fatality statistics and intends to build a sophisticated dashboard to assist with oversight, similar to HISA's current internal dashboard that monitors fatalities in real-time by state and racetrack. Some of this data is currently being utilized in tools like: HISA CHECK?: Analyzes comprehensive treatment information available in the HISA Portal, along with historical performance data and other risk factors (e.g., the length of a horse's previous layoff if any, term with current trainer, history on the Veterinarians' List), to assess whether horses are at increased risk for injury. HISA Horse In-Sight: Provides a holistic picture of horses' health and performance for their entire racing career and is among the tools that Regulatory Veterinarians use daily to assist with their evaluations of horses in training and entered to race.Collecting and analyzing real-time data has allowed HISA to reduce equine fatality rates across the country, and as we continue to enhance our data-driven efforts, we aim to make as much information publicly available as possible, potentially including trainer statistics.
