Chuck forgot my favorite Dr. Bramlage descriptor of the TB racehorse (and he did two days on Bloodhorse, it's still up if you guys want to read it, really good stuff)

Shawnee, KS:
With the push for more tracks to go to a synthetic surface ... or are we just trying to gloss over problems within our breeding industry. I.E. too much inbreeding and or an over saturation of less than quality individuals being bred?

Bramlage:
The data is pretty strong that catastrophic injuries .... This is why we will never eliminate injuries totally. Success is predicated on the fact that our athletes carry the minimum skeleton necessary. They run right on the edge of their physiology.
