I know this will disappoint the alarmists who don't bother with facts, but fatalities are down on the new surface at GGF and it seems to have been well received by the horseman.

"There have been four fatal injuries during races from 2,159 starters in 32 days compared to seven from 1,907 starters during Golden Gate Fields' 31-day season in similar weather Dec. 26-Feb. 11."
