Said Shapiro: “If most of the industry wants to go back to dirt, they should go back to dirt. But I think that racetrack surfaces have become somewhat of a scapegoat for the problems of horse racing.
“Racetrack surfaces are not the sole cause of breakdowns. There are many other factors including medications and breeding practices.”


Racetracks are a 'scapegoat' but then he goes on to list other 'factors' as though they arent 'scapegoats' as well.

I guess Baffert is the one to blame since it was his complaining that led General Shapiro to act.
