I have no clue whether or not the injury would have even occured on dirt. I thought you were making the argument that we are no better off with horses suffering career ending injuries on polytrack than if they broke down grotesquely in front of fans on the dirt which I completely disagree with.

The bottomline is that horses are still breaking down....all variables of where and how many are yet to be seen - but they are still UNSAFE on the Polytrack as they are on everything that runs. But now, we have screwd with the breed and tradition of our game because of pure specualtion that horses will be healthier on Polytrack. How much healthier? How will we know for sure? What are other risks with soft tissue injuries and the synthetic crap that jockeys and horses are breathing out there on a daily basis?...Will that constant intake of synthetic and unnatural substance affect a mare's long-term ability to be a producer in some way?...Who knows? - NOBODY!
So why take the risks and unknowns with this shiat if Polytrack is still indeed breaking dow horses?
