Modelled predicted probability of exertional heat illness by race distance at three values of wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) (\(^{\circ }\)C) and preceding 5-day temperature averages (\(^{\circ }\)C) for horses that have not had a previous EHI incident (a–c) and those that have (d–f). Model variables not plotted are held at their mean value. Overall predicted probabilities are low under all conditions for horses that have not had a previous EHI incident. However, for horses that have had a previous EHI incident there is a greater risk of EHI during races across all scenarios.
