Meanwhile, let's get back to the original source of this chaos: TSG's avarice for unattainable handle increases in the SoCal market which resulted in a communication/leadership vacuum via the replacing of Rick Hammerle and driving out of Dennis Moore.
In addition to the current fatality tally tripped by the impossibly difficult main track surface issue, there's going to be further breakdowns because horses are almost certainly harboring bone fissures from 3 months of training/racing on the hardened strip. Moore has the track back to the deeper, slower version that allowed only 8 and 10 breakdowns the past 2 years, so what else has to be done to fix that problem? To his credit, Tim Ritvo has been trying to source nuclear imaging machinery which can provide early detection of horses that are developing vulnerabilities. As we learned with the NY Task Force in 2012, all areas need to be on full alert to prevent as many horses from going wrong as possible. I can't imagine what happens with the next incident. The pressure/scrutiny that will accompany the resumption of racing is going to be incredible. It's obviously impossible to easily explain the intricacies of this business to the general public.. Tough enough to explain it to people who profess to be interested or involved.
