It s been 30 years since the American Association of Equine Practitioners first began providing veterinary expertise to nationally televised horse races in the event of injury to a participant or the need to have questions answered relative to a horse s well being.
In this week s edition of The Friday Show, equine surgeon Dr. Alan Ruggles, who will be the AAEP s On Call veterinarian for this year s Kentucky Derby telecast on NBC Sports, provides some perspective on the program and the On Call vet s role in communicating important information to both the television audience and to reporters from around the world who are at Churchill Downs to cover this year s Derby. A partner at the Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky., Ruggles also outlines some of the things going on behind the scenes to make racing as safe as possible for equine and human athletes alike. Please join publisher Ray Paulick and editor-in-chief Natalie Voss for the discussion.

A first-crop Vino Rosso colt out of Twisted Adage at St. Simon Place.
Throughout the breeding season, the Paulick Report will be sharing photos of foals from the first crop of Spendthrift Farm s Breeders Cup Classic winner Vino Rosso in the “Toast to Vino Rosso” series.
This time around, we re taking a look at a filly from the first crop of Vino Rosso out of the Hard Spun mare Twisted Adage.
This filly was born on Feb. 25 at St. Simon Place in Lexington, Ky., bred by Robert Slack.
Tommy Wente boards the filly and her dam at St. Simon Place for the breeder, and he said Slack is a fan of the cross between Curlin and Hard Spun. As a son of Curlin, Vino Rosso fit the bill for the mating.
The Friday Show: Adding An Asterisk To An Arkansas Derby Winner Sponsored by:
Charlatan s victory in the Arkansas Derby was restored by the Arkansas Racing Commission despite a failed drug test for lidocaine
It s been almost a year since Bob Baffert-trained Gamine and Charlatan won races at Oaklawn – Gamine in an allowance race and Charlatan in a division of the Grade 1, $1-million Arkansas Derby – and then subsequently were disqualified when post-race drug tests detected the prohibited drug lidocaine.
Those disqualifications were appealed, as was a 15-day suspension given Baffert by the Oaklawn board of stewards. Earlier this week after a two-day hearing, the Arkansas Racing Commission voted unanimously to restore the horses wins, eliminate Baffert s suspension and instead fine him $5,000 for each positive.
