Sudden Deaths in Southern Cal

This could all be coincidence. If Baffert has such a high number of questionable deaths why isn't someone doing something about it.

24 horses a week die at America’s racetracks. How is this number acceptable to anyone?

Understand that the '24 horses a week dying at America's racetracks' is a wholly phony number the Times manufactured with the mythic 'study' of result charts.

Yes I am aware that the fig is KAKA but there is a real fig and it does contain dead horses. Moreover I believe we should accept that horses die from training for and competing in horse races. What no one should accept or excuse is the abuse of horses. Simply not OK.. The fact that some will die while being given the finest of care and treatment is brutally acceptable.

At the same time, there's a very disconcerting element to this particular situation.

Yeah, because "somebody" always does something in horse racing, it is such a tightly run ship.
