She is just an ignorant person, hoping to get horse racing caught up in some of the Michael Vick dog fighting wake. She tries to throw big numbers out there, but the percentages are small. It is unfortunate and tragic anytime a horse breaks down or gets pulled up. For that matter, football is a violent sport too. People have had thier lives ruined by career ending injuries. But the industry as a whole is trying to make improvements. Whether we like it or not as handicappers, they say that the synthetic surfaces are safer. Time will tell. I consider this article as trash written by a uneducated PETA drone tring to make a name for herself.
