Horses will always get injured no matter what surface they run on.

No this isn't how it works. You either have to think that poly is the greatest thing in the world and will prevent EVERY injury.....or.....you must think that it is the creation of Satan himself sent to earth to ruin horseracing in less than 2 years. There can be none of this middle-ground nonsense.

Yes, this is also what I find but it drives me nuts. A single injury to a horse that has ran on or trained on ploytrack is cited as an example of a failure of that surface. Yet day in and day out, breakdown after breakdown occurs to horses on dirt and hardly a peep. I guess dirt injuries are just accepted.
It's as is polytrack is total crap unless it eliminates 100% of all breakdowns.
