And mark your calendar for 7-8:30 p.m. Nov. 12, when the annual Evening of Science and Celebration will be held virtually. The keynote will come from Karyn Malinowski on a hot topic, “Equine Welfare: A New World for Equine Athletes.”
The guest speaker, Dr. Allen Page of the University of Kentucky’s Gluck Equine Research Center, will discuss, “Can We Use a Blood Test to Predict Catastrophic Racing Injuries in Horse?.” The toll taken by such injuries continues to be a matter of concern, as legislation is being directed to improve safety at the racetracks.
Also scheduled are presentations of the Spirit of the Horse Award and the Gold Medal Horse Farm Award. To register for the evening, go to https://go.rutgers.edu/Evening2020
