The Racetrack Veterinary Intervention Ratio, or RVI. Good Idea or Bad Idea?


Excerpt:

The New York regulatory veterinarian, Jennifer Durenberger, moderated the panel, but she is also the person who developed the ratio, which she has called the Racetrack Veterinary Intervention Ratio, or RVI. Durenberger said she developed the ratio in order to produce an objective measure of a trainer’s relative standing among other trainers for actions that jeopardize the integrity of racing, a tool that could be used as a potential ground for discipline, warnings, or ejections.

The ratio combines a variety of measures – such as the number of medication violations against a trainer and the number of training and racing injuries – and divides them by the total number of the trainer’s starts, Durenberger said. It is intended to be used as a comparison tool against a baseline for a track’s trainer population and inform stewards and management about possible outliers.

“A trainer with a very high RVI, and remember we are talking way above baseline, is essentially a liability to racing,” Durenberger said.

Durenberger said she had used data from a “seasonal meet” at an unnamed track to generate RVIs for the entire training population of 111 trainers, and had found that 108 of the trainers were within three standards deviations of the baseline. The three outliers, however, were responsible for 43 percent of the medication violations at the track during the meet and 31 percent of the fatalities.

“Imagine taking out 3 percent of your population of trainers and reducing your violations and fatalities as much as that,” Durenberger said.

Good idea, and publish the ratings right next to the trainer's name in the programs and the entries so everyone knows who is doing what.

TRACK the ratings over the months and publish that info also.

I agree. Some high profile Trainers would flip out if the public knew the truth IMO.

I am just guessing, but I think that 3% probably correlates to the 3% of trainers who win at double the average win rate in certain categories, particularly first off the claim.
