Extra Precautions This Week at Hawthorne
Recently a horse was diagnosed with strangles that was stabled at the Sawgrass Training Center in Illinois. That horse has not been to Hawthorne in over a month. Accordingly, Hawthorne has sent out this announcement through text message. “All trainers must check their horses’ rectal temp twice daily, preferably morning and evening. A written log must be submitted to security when the horse is checked in on race day. Temps 1.5 degrees above normal (99.5-100.5) will be scratched.” Horses that do ship in from Sawgrass to Hawthorne to race this weekend will all ship into the same isolated barn. Horsemen are asked to be extremely attentive to this situation and be considerate of each other. We will update any information as it becomes available.
2020 Fingerprints Now Required
From the Illinois Racing Board:
Attention all parties requiring fingerprints in 2020 but were given a deferral due to concerns regarding the Covid virus. The deferral has expired, and you are now required to be printed. Please report to the License office to ensure compliance with this part of the licensing process; Failure to do so will result in the suspension of your Racing Board license
Summer Schedule Updated
Schedule Update:
The Department of Agriculture has relocated the IL county fair/Topline and IHHA races scheduled for August 10th and September 1 to the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds. Also-the IHHA trot that was rained out on July 21 will be held on Sept. 1. There were no additional days available for the IHHA pace that was rained out-therefore this purse money will be equally added into the remaining 3 IHHA pace races.
