Graham Test News Today

James Graham was the most vocal for what the test needed to include and was adamant on having other jockeys involved in the feedback process.

For the past two years, SMRI has been working in partnership with Keeneland to conduct its research and develop this new test with the help and feedback from the jockeys who race here.

Horse racing has the highest rate of concussions of any sport — including American football — but safety protocols for the jockeys have lagged behind other athletes. Researchers from the UK Sports Medicine Research Institute are working to change that by developing a brand-new baseline concussion testing protocol specifically for jockeys, affectionately known as "the Graham Test."
