Risk factors for race-day fatality, distal limb fracture and epistaxis in Thoroughbreds racing on all-weather surfaces in Great Britain (2000 to 2013) (2017)
Journal Article
Rosanowski, S. M., Chang, Y. M., Stirk, A. J., & Verheyen, K. L. P. (2017). Risk factors for race-day fatality, distal limb fracture and epistaxis in Thoroughbreds racing on all-weather surfaces in Great Britain (2000 to 2013). Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 148, 58-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2017.10.003

The incidence of race-day injuries in Great Britain (GB) is higher on all-weather (AW) surfaces than on turf. However, to date no studies have focused on identifying risk factors for injury specific to AW racing. Therefore, the objective of the curre...

A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies (2016)
Journal Article
Rose, B. V., Cabrera-Sharp, V., Firth, M. J., Barrelet, F. E., Bate, S., Cameron, I. J., …De Mestre, A. M. (2016). A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies. Placenta, 38, 107-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2015.12.014

Early pregnancy loss occurs in 6–10% of equine pregnancies making it the main cause of reproductive wastage. Despite this, reasons for the losses are known in only 16% of cases. Lack of viable conceptus material has inhibited investigations of many p... Read More about A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies.

Bone biomarkers and risk of fracture in two- and three-year-old Thoroughbreds
Journal Article
Jackson, B. F., Dyson, P. K., Lonnell, C., Verheyen, K. L. P., Pfeiffer, D. U., & Price, J. S. Bone biomarkers and risk of fracture in two- and three-year-old Thoroughbreds. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(4), 410-413. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516409x416206

The aim of this study was to determine whether bone biomarkers (osteocalcin, PICP, ICTP and CTX-I) could be used to identify 2- and 3-year-olds at increased risk of fracture in the subsequent flat racing season. It was concluded that these bone bioma... Read More about Bone biomarkers and risk of fracture in two- and three-year-old Thoroughbreds.
