good for them. How many horses died on track in the 6 week meet? Seemed like 20. Tbreds have become more barbaric than the dogs.

I get that. my point is Thoroughbred racing has been reduced to Greyhound status in my mind. Who is going to do something about the staggering amount of death and destruction that sport has scene in the past several years. The past Saratoga meet should be the last until someone can explain what just went on there.

They certainly have enough examples of horses dying all over America. There clearly is something going on that we fans don’t know about. I find it hard to believe all these major tracks have suddenly made their tracks dangerous. Some Ploppers have surmised that present day breeding has something to do with all these deaths. That’s above my pay grade to know if that’s possible but all these deaths cannot be a coincidence.
