The premise is also flawed in that death does not limit itself to the
racers.  It occurs across the board, to racers, to mid-packers, to
multi-day horses, etc.  While The Duck is right that a horse can log a lot
more "riding" miles without breaking down than he can "racing" miles, the
idea that we need to be less vigilant of "riding" events is, IMO,
mind-boggling.
