Do you take horses during the Belmont–Aqueduct relocation cycle?

Yes. When stalls tighten or the dorms close, we can absorb multiple horses from the same barn and keep them together in compatible turnout groups.

Who manages the veterinary program?

Your primary vet stays in charge. We coordinate locally with Rhinebeck Equine and Rood & Riddle and follow the treatment plan exactly as written.

How do owners follow progress?

A written weekly report with photographs goes to both the trainer and the owner, so nobody is working from second-hand information.

Belmont trainers send runners to us for post-race recovery, soft-tissue rehab, and seasonal turnout when the dorms close down or during the Aqueduct/Belmont relocation cycle. We're purpose-built for racetrack horses coming down: dedicated rehab paddocks, deep straw, twice-daily stall checks, and 24/7 staff on the property.

We coordinate directly with Rood & Riddle, Rhinebeck Equine, and whichever primary vet is managing the horse. Direct vans through Sallee and Brook Ledge in and out of Belmont, Aqueduct, and Saratoga; weekly written progress reports with photos so the trainer and owner are never surprised.

Belmont's stakes horses often need a real 60-to-90-day letdown between campaigns — that's the sweet spot our program is built for.
