ATR: Dr. McIlwraith & the Racing Surfaces Committee Report
For those that enjoyed the visit by Dr. McIlwraith, here is the link to the White Paper. Some fascinating reading that among other things, can help you understand the elements of hoof impact, slide and breakover -- how horses get over surfaces. (Could spend a week on the show on this topic alone with trainers, farriers, vets, breeders...)
