I wonder if Santa Anita said they could only film if they agreed not to show spills where the horse brokedown and had to be euthanized? Someone might've had the sense to bar that. I mean it's not like Animal Planet's entitled to show it, SA's private and AP's not a news channel.

About NASCAR and the wrecks, I don't think it's like hockey where people get excited about fights. When there's a wreck, a lot of fans get upset cuz if their driver isn't in it, maybe his chances got compromised by it. Believe me a lot of them know where he needs to finish to not lose a spot in the points system and if some loser knocks them out of it by wrecking, the fans swear a blood oath to hate them for life.
