Share Fair Grounds racetrack in New Orleans: Louisiana does not have a voided claim rule. Photo: Lou Hodges Jr Two horses fell during the first full week of racing starting at the end of last month at Fair Grounds in New Orleans. That contrasts greatly with the recent experience at Del Mar and Santa Anita, which registered just a single catastrophic injury between them over the past few months of racing (and training) during late summer and autumn meets. A vote in favor of stricter rules, stricter monitoring, drug free racing perhaps? Early days, but permitted levels of raceday non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) being eliminated is starting to look important. Another very important factor may be the voided claim rule.
