And you're saying he wouldn't have had he broken down on the dirt? wWho knows? The only thing I'm trying to point out is that Polytrack is still breaking down horses, and yes, I'm sure the concussion isn't as bad and there will be less horses go down on the track - BUT you also have to remember that we're talking about a horse with a future as a stallion here.....What about the other 95% of horses that are cliamers and break down on Polytrack that are geldings or not good enough to breed? Where do they go?....Yeah, they may not die on the track, but MANY of them will go to slaughterhouses eventually anyway.
