Equine Injury Reporting System
A uniform on-track equine injury reporting system developed by Dr. Mary Scollay will be implemented as a pilot project at 30 racetracks beginning June 1, representatives of the Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit announced May 30. The goal of the injury reporting pilot project is threefold: to identify the frequency, type and outcome of racing injuries using a standardized format that will generate valid composite statistics; to develop a centralized epidemiologic database that could be used to identify markers for horses at increased risk of injury; and to serve as a data source for research directed at improving safety and preventing injuries.

I doubt the data will be made public but at least the project is a step in the right direction.
