NYRA sez "No wire hangers" (539 Views)

A vague and irrelevant Subject line, but what do you want for 2:30 AM.

Nice homage to the bettor at the end by Donk.
==========================================
NYRA to implement Race Day Security Barns

The New York Racing Association (NYRA) will implement Race Day Security Barns for all horses scheduled to race, beginning on May 4, the opening day at Belmont Park. The program will be duplicated at Saratoga and Aqueduct later this year.

Two barns at Belmont Park -- Barn 8 and Barn 23, which have a total of 93 stalls -- will be used to provide a secure environment for all horses entered for competition. Once admitted, only the trainer and his employees will be allowed in the stall with the horse. No private veterinarians will be allowed in the Race Day Security Barn.

NYRA veterinarians will administer Lasix, an anti-bleeding medication.

Horse must arrive in the Race Day Security Barn a minimum six hours prior to their scheduled race. NYRA security will fully staff each Race Day Security Barn beginning at 6 a.m. (EDT) to allow for early arrivals. Security checks will be a part of the daily routine with the added support of surveillance equipment and fencing around the entire area.

Trainer David Donk is one of many members of the racing community supporting the program.

"I am pleased that NYRA is stepping up to the plate and taking this initiative," Donk said. "Obviously, I am for it because this is the future of racing. Eventually, I think the future is a 24-hour security barn with a camera in every stall. This is for the betterment of racing and a great day for both the $2 bettor and the serious gambler."
