I watch both tracks daily as well as several others..I think it has as much to do with the stock and poor decision making of the trainers/vets as it does the tracks maintainence levels. Horses seem to breakdown a lot more at Penn Nat, although admittedly I don't have any factual stats to back up my overall opinion. I see a good 2 to 4 horses a week.. Penn has 1200 horses on the grounds and at least 400 should have other careers..
