In response to recent equine deaths at Aqueduct Racetrack, regulators in New York are poised to adopt a rule voiding claiming race sales of horses that die during a claiming event or are euthanized on-track after a race.
The New York State Racing and Wagering Board will be holding an emergency meeting April 2 to consider, and almost certainly, adopt the new, 22-word addition to the state’s racing regulations.
The rule change simply notes that “a claim shall be void for any horse that dies during a race or is euthanized on the track following a race.’’
