The 14 ambulance runs include the horse who flipped in the paddock and the horses who got hurt on the turf course. That has nothing to do with the polytrack. The only umber that is relevant is the number of horses that got hurt on the polytrack.

The field sizes are way up because the horses are staying sounder. That doesn't mean that these artificial surfaces are perfect. But overall the data looks very encouraging.
