let me start by saying did not expect the site to be maintained through the lockdown, however i do now have questions and concerns around the lack of updates.
1. we have heard of a major increase in the possibility that horses will be retired and Euthanased in the short term. this will be i imagine caused by three reasons
unsold yearlings/babies
old horses retiring due to no races and stakes decrease. these horses will struggle to find new homes in thois climate and the strict inter provincial movement still in place at this stage
loss of owners due to economic/financial reasons
trainers sitting with horses that cant race could possibly be added in to the mix.
when will these horses/stats be updated by NHRA
2. are the NHRA ensuring breeders/ trainers/jockeys etc are updating NHRA in this period. control is important even in the lockdown.
3 are non paying owners being removed and their authority to act removed. this protects other trainers vets etc from being done in down the road.
