Santa Anita, the famed California thoroughbred racetrack, announced major reforms after a 22nd horse was euthanized following an accident, bringing the total number of deaths to 22 since Christmas.
Officials called the new rules a "seismic shift" in safety, aimed at stemming a string of equine deaths at the track since Christmas.
The 3-year-old filly, Princess Lili B, trained by David Bernstein, suffered a catastrophic injury during a workout shortly before 9 a.m. and had to be put down, Santa Anita and state officials said. "While we firmly believe our jockeys have not purposely been mistreating their mounts, it is time to make this change," she said., a leading thoroughbred racing industry journal, reported that the only race-day medication allowed in the United States is the diuretic furosemide, which is used to treat bleeding in the lungs, and that use of the drug on race days is the only significant difference between U.S. and IFHA standards.
