"Yesterday was the course's 98th meeting of the year, a record for a British track. Whether this hectic schedule was undermining safety was being asked last night."

If you narrowly focus on any short period of time

And could dirt incidents not be attributed to the same thing?
Oh wait I forgot, when its on dirt its the dirts fault!!!
When its on poly its because horse was sore, tightly handicapped, dog ate my homework, aberration, aliens came down and caused it from a glowing spaceship, etc.

yes, the same applies to dirt. you should look at data samples over long periods of time when making judgements about either surface. In other words the data should be taken in a scientific way.

Jim you and I are on the SAME page on this one!!!
I also think that data should be reported the same way, objectively.
Wonder what the data is on dirt tracks with safe cushions and sand based surfaces that is harrowed deeper instead of sealed or packed down tight?
You won't read about that!! Because noone is on the take to pump that up.
Not a lotta money in dirt, you know?
Horse broke down in Hong Kong on turf this weekend. maybe we should ban that too huh? Thats gotta be next on the agenda, green polytrack.
