After starting this thread... here’s my opinion after all the responses...

Fact is... they’re ALL drugged beyond belief.  Did Santa Anita REALLY think we’d all believe it was the “Track Surface” killing all these horses and not some new dope that the veterinarians haven’t caught up to yet????  Ridiculous...!!  How about the great Justify story??  Like the ENTIRE business... it’s all cover up !!!

My only remaining thought is this....

Thoroughbreds race (for the most part) for far more money per race than the harness horse.  Therefore the harness horse NEEDS to race more fit thr connections to do well.  This bullshit about “ structure... feet touching the fucking ground”...etc... all bullshit !!!  The bigger the purse... the less they have to race... and that is why... the thoroughbred races far less...  think about it!!  Simple math ...

It's almost as if they are a different breed of animal or something.

My point... they’re ALL drugged beyond belief....   wait to see if horse racing doesn’t follow Greyhounds because of the cruelty of the “Sport”.....

And even every third day at times??  Honestly have never figured it out??

funny. I remember way back. I tried the business at the old Seminole raceway in florida. guy named Don Brainard raced some of his horses up to 6 times a month. they would go every 2 days, the after 4 days off they would go every 2 days again. talk about how strong are standard breds. granted they were all 1000 to 2000 claimers , but he would race their asses of.. after the race he would load them on the truck and off they would go. heard they didn't even get hosed down and all used the same harness. don't know if that was quite true or not. I even have some old programs that show them entered that much. how tough were these old plugs  !!!
