📉 Racing Foundation-funded risk models used to improve outcomes for racehorses British racing, in partnership with @RoyalVetCollege, is now using detailed, rich data spanning 14 years to identify and help reduce risk in the sport, via the Racing Risk Models (RRM). The RRM outputs provide powerful data and epidemiological evidence using advanced statistical techniques to better understand the risk factors in racing that lead to long-term injuries, falls and fatalities in racehorses. Funded by the Racing Foundation, the project is jointly led by the @BHAHorseracing and the sport’s independently-chaired @WelfareBoard as part of the industry’s focus on improving safety and reducing risk to the equine athletes that power the sport. Funding of the Racing Risk Model is part of the Racing Foundation’s £3million multi-year grant award that supports the delivery of the horse welfare projects in the industry’s A Life Well Lived strategy, overseen by the Horse Welfare Board. This three-year grant is providing support for 15 of the 26 projects prioritised in the strategy. Read the full article at: racingfoundation.co.uk/how-r…
