avillanueva3rd1 · Been in this business a long time, from hot walker to agent to bloodstock agent to asst trainer to horseplayer to clocker. Its the nature of the game in the mornings and afternoon. When I was working for a trainer in 1995 we had a sound filly. She went out for a work and brokedown. It wasn't the track nor the amount of horses that were on the track. It was a bad step. It happens. For the longest time SA has been critical of the racing surface. They are happy now, but have yet to see the rains come. Then we will see how happy trainers are. BDJ brought up a good point between synthetic tracks and dirt tracks some time ago. It involved the motion of the horse when hitting the turn for home and that more injuries are occurring in the hind end than the front. Might want to ask him about that. Loved you piece by the way. · 146 days ago ·

travel_vic · Posed a question for our vet: she responded that horses that are hurting usually hold back,,,"IT is the sound ones that put in the hard effort, that, in the wrong positions, generate the force that causes breakdowns. · 146 days ago ·

12thCrown · When I first heard about the fatalities I assumed it was a multiple horse accident... four isolated incidents is one bad day! Even tracks considered "horse friendly" have variations from time to time. Some of my owner friends stated Oaklawn was too hard last year (maybe due to colder temps?) so maybe that's why Larry Jones headed to Fair Grounds this year. · 145 days ago ·

Floridaf · 12thCrown, I heard the same thing regarding Oaklawn, but not just for last year. Saturday morning was particularly bad for Gulfstream. Mucho Macho Man and rider had to navigate around two separate accidents while on the track. Hopefully this won't happen again. · 145 days ago ·

travel_vic · often grouped random events are explained by lillogical means. Things happen and they are often grouped and that tells you little of the cause...Correlation is not causation · 144 days ago ·
