The Stronach Group has announced enhanced security measures for horses competing in the GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational.
“We at The Stronach Group are committed to maximizing the integrity, safety and welfare of our athletes. These enhancements reaffirm that commitment,” said Mike Rogers, Racing Division President of The Stronach Group.
In addition to all other applicable state laws and track policies, Gulfstream Park will mandate the following protocols for horses competing in the PWCI:
• Horses competing in the Pegasus World Cup Invitational (PWCI) are subject to Out-Of-Competition Testing.
• A Gulfstream Park Veterinarian Administrator will perform in-stall inspections and on-track observations of the PWCI contenders in the days preceding the event.
• Horses must be on the grounds no later than 72 hours prior to post time of the PWCI. Horses must remain on the Gulfstream Park facility grounds until after the running of the PWCI. Exceptions will only be granted in the case of an unforeseeable emergency.
• The horses competing in the PWCI shall be monitored at all times by additional security personnel.
