I found it, and posted details on another thread. Here it is, apparently from Dan Ilman's DRF Form Blog:
2 broke down, 9 vanned off, 5 walked off, 1 horse stopped work as it's saddle slipped.
The spill in the 7th was a horse that clipped heels and went down, and another horse then fell over it.

Dan Ilman: Here's what I found for the last few weeks at Golden Gate:
December 12 - none
December 13 - King of My Castle vanned off, Haint's Deal walked off
December 14 - Roman Wish vanned off
December 15 - Deputy Bertrando walked off, Hampton Way vanned off
December 16 - none
December 22 - Jump Rope Girl broke down
December 26 - Gassan Snow walked off, Guydancefromabove vanned off
December 28 - none
December 29 - Freedom Wins vanned off, Above a Whisper walked off (saddle slipped)
December 30 - none
December 31 - Everlasting Fame walked off
January 1 - Ticketsandtomatoes vanned off, Shawn's Mr. Comet walked off, Fit to Dream vanned off, Mt. Whitney broke down, Inspired Candi vanned off
January 3 - Chestnut Affair vanned off
In thirteen days, seventeen horses had to be helped off the track [Note: Dan is including horses that walked off, and the horse whose work was stopped as it's saddle slipped in this number (??)]. T hat's not a very good ratio. It may be premature to blame the track, however. Some of these horses were big longshots, and some competed in cheap claiming races prone to sore horses. Still, it's a trend worth following.
