Four breakdowns

The sight of four horses failing to finish races in two days last week dredged up unpleasant memories of last season, when Arlington breakdowns put the track surface here under close scrutiny, but Arlington made it through Million weekend without further incident.

Two horses racing Thursday on Polytrack suffered leg injuries and were pulled up and vanned off, and a third horse Friday, Carmel My Belle, broke down badly in the second race. A race later, Shake went down on the backstretch, but he was the victim of a pulmonary hemorrhage rather than a leg injury.

It doesn't stop all breakdowns.

Did we cover that yet, or not?
