Keeneland is committing $100,000 over four years to further research into equine injury detection. Part of the emphasis lies in the comparison of medical technologies.
The money from Keeneland will go to the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. One project will focus on comparing positron emission topography to magnetic resonance imaging for assessing bone chips and fractures in sport horses. Dr. Stuart Brown is Keeneland’s vice president of equine safety. He said the goal is to stay ahead of what could be euthanizing injuries.
