The summit assembled a diverse group, including research scientists, equine clinicians, veterinarians, and racing regulators, from around the world. Together, they examined how cutting-edge science and emerging technologies could be applied to reduce the risk of catastrophic injuries such as bone fractures and exercise-associated sudden death in racehorses.
This special EVJ collection includes four editorials inspired by key themes and discussions from the summit, along with 22 additional research articles. Topics range from advances in diagnostic imaging and track surface analysis to genetic and physiological studies aimed at improving risk prediction and management.
In addition to the published research, a related podcast is also available, featuring a discussion with several summit leaders. The podcast offers further insight into the collaborative strategies and innovative tools being developed to make racing safer for horses worldwide.
This initiative underscores a global shift towards evidence-based practices in equine sports and reflects an ongoing dedication to the welfare of racehorses through collaborative scientific advancement.
