Girth development - what's being done to adapt this key piece of tack

Dr. Russell Mackechnie-Guire shows how girths have been scientifically proven to have an impact on performance. Groundbreaking research has revealed the effect girths can have on the locomotion of the galloping racehorse.

Substance abuse in racing

Lissa Oliver investigates the effects of substance abuse and secondary knock-on effects for the racing industry due to the risk of cross-contamination.

Lissa Oliver investigates ways of captivating the younger age group as the next generation of racehorse owners and why only golf has an older average television audience age. Horse racing does nothing to engender a rift between young and old.
