Im not trying to be argumentitive, lets just agree to disagree. 14 ambulance runs, and a bunch of catastrophics for a short meet like Keeneland is cause for worry.

From the TB Times article you quoted:
"Lafe Nichols, D.V.M., Kentucky’s chief racing veterinarian, reports six catastrophic injuries during the 17-day meeting, which concluded on October 27. Nichols said 14 equine ambulance runs were needed during the meeting, as eight nonfatal injuries also were treated.
Nichols cautioned that many uncontrolled variables contribute to each individual case, making any hard conclusions difficult. The statistics include all injuries on the track, turf course, and on the property, as one of the fatalities occurred in the paddock."
So
4 on the poly, one in the paddock, and one on the turf. 6 fatalities. 8 injuries to horses where they were vanned off.
