Why does this feel like a mistake...

Fine. What can you compare it to?

The problem is these organizations in a usually desperate attempt to do "something" will impose some new regulations or standards using one year worth of data without any knowledge if it is bad or good. I have no issue with what they are doing other than it should have been started a long time ago. What i do have a problem is using incomplete or faulty data to change rules like they did with the shoes. The ironic part about that is different tracks STILL have different rules about the toe grabs.

You can look at the data and evaluate some of it. You CAN NOT draw conclusive opinions. You can perhaps lean towards certain directions which the data suggests make some sense. CLEARLY jumping to conclusions is not prudent

Hey, it may show that synthetic tracks haven't changed much compared to non-synthetics regarding injuries.

I know it's hard to believe but Cannon Head is finally right.. 12 months of data is helpful because it is better then zero months of data but I think it makes sense not to jump to conclusions.. The FDA requires Phase 1 2 and 3 trails before a drug is approved. Let's just agree that 12 months is phase 1 and while results may be consisent in phase 2 and 3 there is certainly no guarantee that years 2 3 or 4 reveil the same conclusions that year 1 did..

I suggest looking at year 1 with an open eye and leaning not jumping..

The horse racing business is a world leader in jumping to conclusions....hence the title.
