Safety, integrity and welfare are everyone’s shared responsibility, and the collective impact of multiple initiatives on the quality of life of horses and the people who work with them is a critical consideration.

One such initiative is the voided claim rule. The rule has evolved over the past few years; the presenters discuss the history of the rule, its evolution in New York, its efficacy and the condition of the horse at the time of retirement and potential transition to a second career.

New York State Gaming Commission

Dr. Jennifer Durenberger
The Jockey Club Steward
Aqueduct, Belmont, Saratoga

Richard Schosberg
NY Based Trainer, NYTHA Vice President, TAKE2/TAKE THE LEAD President
