Turfway Park

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.

[The Bid]

Yes different breakdowns.

This was a real bad 7 day run at TWP. Im just saying those are both allowance horses, not cheap horses. There have been some higher level horses coming back bad.

Only 3 breakdowns from the 10th through 14th. Also one on the 7th. So this week they have had 4 breakdowns in the racing week. I would say the average clip is about 3-4 a week.
