I wonder what the death rate is per racing day over a period of say 20 yrs.
Perhaps california horses are pussies?New York is very transparent about breakdowns in the state.. actually any kind of racing event

There’s been 3 deaths in racing at aqueduct in 2019... figuring they run 8-9 races per day, 4 days per week.... that’s a very low number.
Compare that to Santa Anita. It’s crazy
It could be sabatoge, maybe someone put a foreign object under the dirt and the horses only occasionally step on it? it seems farfetched but it has to be something.Or maybe the illegal drugs that trainers use in California are stronger , and the surface is fucked up from the rain.
They shouldn’t have reopened
blue they just cant afford anything terrible up to the Santa Anita Derby, cant risk anything. hold breath get past the SA Derby and then regroup.
Really? Like who? No one cares about the lives of racehorses, no one.unfortunately its not just peta on an outrage. much broader now
