how is it putting an animal first when a trainer runs a horse who is 'off' on synthetic, as it's so safe..and then the horse breaks down?
if arlingtons numbers are similar now (as i read on here earelier) as they were when they had dirt, how is the surface safer? well, the first answer you get is that trainers are running unsound horses-would those horses run if the surface hadn't changed? maybe not. maybe the trainer would have waited. so how is this situation any better for horses?
