The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority released the following update on Thursday afternoon:

HISA closely reviews every equine fatality that takes place under its jurisdiction.

On Aug. 5, HISA began conducting an expanded review of the circumstances surrounding recent equine fatalities at Saratoga Race Course. HISA officials are reviewing necropsy results, veterinary records, racing and training histories, surface maintenance logs and weather records gathered by local veterinarians and other officials.

HISA is collaborating with officials from the New York Racing Association and the New York State Gaming Commission in its review, and sharing findings in real time as these reviews are ongoing. The final findings of HISA's review will be made public and be used to inform potential interventions moving forward.
