 I thought that bone failure in track horses can be directly attributed
 to poor conditioning and loss of form leading to higher than normal
 loading as the horse tires. Regardless of how strong the bone is, if
 the horse looses form the mathematics of the mechanics makes failure a
 high probability. Most failures I've seen of tendons also point to
 lack of condition as a cause. However I'm willing to admit that I may
 be all wet here, not my balliwick.

No, you're right on Nicco. That and coverup "normalizing" from the vets so
that a minor injury becomes catastrophic rather quickly.
