Episode 98 – Horse Racing: Fatal injuries, risk factors and evidence-based interventions

In this episode, Holly Niven and Taya Forde speak with Euan Bennet, Lecturer in Research and Numerical Skills at the University of Glasgow and expert in risk factor analysis in Equine Sports. He introduces us to common fatal horse racing injuries and talks about his most recent paper https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.14503 where he uncovered novel risk factors associated with fatal injuries in race horses. He shares with us how his work supports evidence-based interventions and regulatory changes aimed at reducing fatal injury risk, as well as giving us an overview of exciting avenues for future work.
