Specifications include, but are not limited to: Respondent will provide the following deliverables: 1. Examine retrospective fatality data for Lone Star Park, 2017-2019. Create in-depth qualitative risk profiles for racing and training deaths. 2. Periodically provide timely in-depth background data to commission veterinarians to assist them in assessing risk of individual horses training or entered to race in Texas. Interact, collaborate, and discuss individual horses with commission veterinarians, for the 2020 Texas race calendar season. 3. Develop a quantitative study proposal in collaboration with Texas A&M AgriLife research staff. Lone Star Park thoroughbred horse injuries will be the initial focus of the study that will also include developing profiles for the total population entered in 2019. Purpose of research is to examine and test statistical significance of retrospective data including but not limited to horse demographics as well as identified and proposed risk factors for catastrophic racing or training death. Initial study will be stand-alone but may ultimately be expanded to include retrospective data from other Texas racetracks or subsequent racing season data. Study should be designed to allow for further expansion and characterization of risk factors via additional statistical analysis. Upon finalization and approval of quantitative study, act as project manager, collaborating with statistician and/or epidemiologist, and interacting with key contacts from both the TxRC and AgriLife. Analyze final data and make recommendations based upon results. Present findings to the TxRC, AgriLife, and other interested parties. Final research paper should ideally be suitable for publication in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA), the Equine Veterinary Journal, Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, or equivalent. 4. Report monthly to Executive Director of TxRC and provide periodic status updates upon request. Communicate ongoing safety developments, challenges to multi-pronged risk reduction strategies, and any projected changes in horse population risk in 2020 vs. 2019. Evaluate and discuss new national and international safety initiatives that may be of utility to the TxRC.
