Next race as the favorite from the 9 hole, the horse is used hard and breaks, finishing last.

probably bad track conditions

Not so much the track some of the horses tonight shouldn't even been racing lame as shit in those lower conditions.
Especially Stratton's horse in the 3rd that broke looked like it was ready to fall down any moment in the lane.

Sometimes when a horse is sore they try to run away from the soreness and they're extremely hard to drive and control. You're just a passenger until they tire a little and you can pull them up. Obviously the ideal situation is to not race a sore horse.

Bad racing and conditions bring in lame horses. Sucks to see this happening at M1.

WAKE UP!!
the trainer of both horses is a juicer
the driver of both horses is brutal
the horses are lame but are drugged up so they just want to go
they are being pushed beyond their means
sadly these folks are going to kill or seriously injure drivers and horses
the industry needs to wake up, can judges not see lame horses on the track

Exactly! But he is clean or Jeffie would have banded him too! Lucky neither of them went down.

Judges knowing a horse is lame ?? You have to be kidding !

Should be a track or state vet on site to deem a horse unfit to race. Some track vets have no problem scratching one and some don't even pay attention.

If they start assassinating drivers they will kill an innocent man. Bongo

Exactly my point earlier in this thread. The quality of horse on non-stakes nights at the Big M is the worst I can ever remember.
