A recent Associated Press survey found that
thoroughbred racetracks in the U.S. reported more than three horse deaths a day
last year and 5,000 since 2003, and the vast majority were put down after
suffering devastating injuries on the track.

Come on, bring it on....we as a group take far better care of our horses, and "create" horses with the structural base and soundness to do the work than what is typically done for these poor horses on the track!
