Abstract
This research was conducted to investigate the effects of race conditions on racing injury in Thoroughbred(TB) horses. A total 335 horses were investigated the relationship between race conditions and racing injuries. The main environmental factors of racing injuries were spring season, rainy weather and sloppy racetrack. In the race types, high incidence of racing injury was found in special weigh, stakes, middle class and long length race. This results suggest that the racing injury can be effected to both individual body condition and various racetrack conditions.
