Any breakdown on poly needs a thorough investigation. Are pre race physicals sufficient ? Are the same trainers sending out the victimized horses ? Find the facts. Then meat out the punishment if appropriate.
I assume you feel the same about any injuries or breakdowns that occur on turf or dirt.

Dr. Mary Scollay has started a national injury reporting system this year (for any track, not just synthetic), and I believe the CA tracks are participating.
