Sparks Fly During CHRB Meeting

The California Horse Racing Board took a swing at a number of equine safety measures during its April 28 meeting at Hollywood Park, including another try at a rule to void the claim of a horse that suffers a fatality during the race.

The CHRB last tried to pass such a rule in November 2009 but withdrew it after a 45-day comment period due to strong opposition from the state's horsemen.

The debate was spirited once again as the board approved the revised rule for the comment period by a 6-0 vote. Commissioner Jerry Moss abstained. The issue is likely to be taken up again in June.
