People in horse racing speak of the horses as athletes and like any athlete, they can be hurt and hurt badly, but now Rillito Park is trying a new technology to reduce the chances of a horse being hurt.
TUCSON, Ariz. —
Assistant General Manager Hailey Shiffer says, “Last year was very hard on all of us. We hate seeing these horses get hurt. We love horse racing because we love the horses. First and foremost this sport is for the love of the horses and we love seeing them out there doing their job. It is very hard for us to see them get hurt and have to unfortunately be euthanized. We want to prevent that. Rillito in 2019 had a zero fatality rate.
Rillito Park says it uses veterinary exams and techniques like studying how a horse walks or runs to try to catch a minor problem before it becomes dangerous.In a way the device is like the horse version of an exercise tracker. It can sense the horse’s movements and report them to a computer program.New York’s Belmont Park tried the system on thoroughbreds there with promising results. Now Rillito, the birthplace of quarter horse racing, will use it with quarter horses.
