Most horses who run are hurt in some way, that is a fact. This is the unfortunate part of our business. There is no question that there are many trainers that do insensitive and dangerous things to horses by running them with certain conditions which could border on criminal. There would be no racing if only completely sound horses would be aloud to run. Sometimes a simple quarter crack could turn into a catestrophic injury by slightly altering a horse running style. Is that criminal or is it a judgement call gone wrong?
