I would guess that most breakdowns are not dope related. I'm also not concerned about PETA and I never mentioned them. That is because if you start to find ways to make racing safer the PETA and the whoever-else problem will go away on it's own. Whats also not taken into account is the health of the jockeys. I would hate to think that any trainer would put a jock on a horse that he thinks may breakdown. That is life threatening serious ****. PETA will only mention the horse so F them.

As far as Monmouth vs Santa Anita, I’d be interested to know the number of horses that train/run at Monmouth vs SA as well as the number of racing days and any other relevant info. I don’t think total deaths will give you the full picture.
