Victoria's Deputy Premier and Racing Minister Rob Hulls has insisted the state's jumps racing industry is still on notice following the death of another horse on the weekend.
Whatsourgo died after falling at the last hurdle in a race at Moonee Valley on Saturday, becoming the sixth horse to die in jumps racing this year.
It was the first fatality since Racing Victoria Limited (RVL) gave approval for the sport to continue, with some changes, in May.
"RVL have decided to make some changes, but just as importantly put the entire industry on notice," Mr Hulls told reporters on Tuesday.
"Jockeys and trainers need to be more vigilant when it comes to running horses over jumps, more vigilant when it comes to training, more vigilant when it comes to education.
"This is a matter for RVL but RVL have made it quite clear as have I that the industry remains on notice."
The sport was reviewed after the deaths of five horses in the first 10 weeks of the 2009 season.
RVL's Jumps Review Panel will meet to discuss the incident on Wednesday.
The review will then be referred to the RVL board on July 2.
