At this point in time, its probably more informative on the nature of synthetic surfaces to assess the incidence of new, training-related injury, as opposed to the number of fatal breakdowns. This could be done through veterinary records and surveys. Over time one would anticipate a decline in total breakdowns if the surfaces do what they are supposed to.

That said, the troubling thing is the variety of synthetic surfaces available, as some seem better than others as far as injury prevention goes.

In fact, anticipate a blood bath at Santa Anita if the workout times hold like they are doing now.

A couple of horses broke down today at Santa Anita, including reportedly Drill Down, a top 2yo. I wonder if anyone's compiled any numbers yet for this track, because these are not the first major injuries since the track was opened in early September.

Is that the colt that ran decently (2nd or 3rd I think) in the Del Mar Futurity?

Yes he did, he ran second or third and looked to be a nice horse. I hope its not true.
