Are turf fatality statistics for US tracks compiled and released anywhere?
Though I did find it very interesting that Northrop felt the owners deserved more transparency about treatments and medication an animal is getting, but the betting public doesn't. As the lolcats would say, dood, srsly?

I doubt the betting public would have any clue what to do with the information or how you would control the validity of the information in the first place? Wouldnt the ability to further abuse the system be greater by allowing trainers/owners/vets to create a shadow of a doubt on claiming horses by taking a bunch of xrays and injecting a bunch of things before a horse dropping in class runs, even if wasnt done or needed? How would you police the vets to insure that they were indeed doing the work on the horse listed?
