Answer---Maybe it has nothing to do with the track and everything to do with whats put inside the horses that have dramatically dropped the number of starts the T-Bred makes in a career and have made them more injury prone and brittle.

The same horseman that were bitching about the DM dirt are bitching about the SA proride. At least they are consistent that they dont want the blame but would rather blame someone or something else.

Or maybe in the good old days just as many horses broke down as now but because no one was really paying attention to it no one bothered counting...
