Did anyone actually read the article?

Coming out with a revision that is less statistically statistic and blatantly skewed to prove your point. Brilliant!
Naw, I don't think anyone read it, as once again this caveat accompanies the release of information:

“The revised statistics are based upon injury reports from a limited number of racetracks (34), and represent a reporting period of less than one year at some racetracks,” Scollay said in The Jockey Club release. “Therefore, it is important to remember that these fatality rates are just a snapshot in time from a less-than-statistically-significant number of tracks, and cannot be considered scientifically conclusive at this point.”
