The only liscense I have is a drivers and a marriage{which has been canceled}. I am a fan and a better. Stats can prove what you want them to.How can you determine the fragility of these horses before exposing them to ther poly? How old were they? Were they cheep claimers just looking for a place to break down. If the truth were known how suprised were the conections when the event occured. As much as I dislike the stuff, the true barometer is the horsemens acceptance of it. Large fields arent the guage because some will think this stuff can work miricals and thus run suspect horses. These are just my opinion but I think they are valid.

from what I have noticed doing this now for 5½ weeks, most appeared to be lower level horses, many who hadn't broken their maidens or only had a win or two.

Turfway is not happy about this at all. The downside to Poly is that minor injuries can go undetected. But to have this many horses vanned off in a 5 day span is not encouraging not matter what level the horses are racing.

Another breakdown last night at TWP, allowance race. Bomb Diggity, allowance race. I wonder when they are going to address the situation there

And I think you should be careful when using the term "breakdown." The term "breakdown" references a horse died while racing. Most of these horses were eased for various reasons. The are several reasons why a horse is vanned off.

Euro,

Bomb Diggity fractured in 4 different spots. They havent put her down yet, but Im still counting it as a breakdown. The horse last night broke down as well. When I say breakdown, they have broke down. I will let you know if they are bleeders or have a lung infection.

Oh I thought you meant that Bomb Diggity broke down last night. I understand your post now. You were mentioning two different breakdowns.
