Three "life threatening situations"

How did I know someone was gonna jump on the language of that? Life threatening situations: horse falling over and hitting head, horses taking bad steps and fracturing sesamoids. 3 lives were threatened, whether they survived or not. I figured I wouldn't have to spell out who lived, who died and that wasn't really the point. Clearly some of us have enough time our hands to pick at semantics. If you think Teuflesberg was managed carefully I'm not sure where you're getting that from. Sanders has been criticized by several people..maybe it's in spite of, not because of her. Hardly gives her the 'management of the year' award. Since when is Gold Train not counting in the life threatening (though not any longer, gotta make sure I keep up with the semantics police) category? Makes 3 in my book.
