In addition to the transcripts, a video replay, a slideshow and a 32-page industry study document, which includes an executive summary, are also available on the site and can be accessed directly at jockeyclub.com/roundtable_replay_2011.html.

The Round Table Conference program also included updates on the activities of The Jockey Club, the Equine Injury Database and the Thoroughbred Safety Committee.
