STATEMENT ON PRACTICAL MOVE

Breeders’ Cup is saddened to report the loss of Practical Move after what is suspected to be a cardiac event while returning from his gallop this morning at Santa Anita Park. His rider was uninjured, and the horse was immediately tended to by veterinarians from the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB), 1/ST Racing, and Breeders’ Cup.

Every year, Breeders’ Cup works closely with its host track, state racing commission, and the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) in the lead-up to the World Championships to implement stringent safety and integrity protocols. These processes are in place to protect the wellbeing of our human and equine athletes, and Breeders’ Cup is committed to continuously improving the ecosystem of care surrounding every horse.

I'm beginning to think Santa Anita is cursed this year!
2 horses with life threatening injuries (Echo Zulu and Geaux Rocket Ride) and one horse collapsed and died- just awful and terribly sad.

I’ve been handicapping and a fan of racing since 1978. I can’t remember a year this bad for the horses. I’m thankful Jena put Arcangelo on the shelf. I’m sure The Pegasus is a race that’s important to her since her barn is based in Florida. I bet that’s the next spot they show up. I hope this is the last of the bad luck and the Cup goes off without any more problems
