I can't find anything about breakdowns turf vs dirt in CA (would have to go through their public records)

Regarding Del Mar, Bay Meadows, Santa Anita, Hollywood, Golden Gate:

Richard Shapiro, the chairman of the California Horse Racing Board (speaking in 2006): "When you look at the data on breakdowns, it's unacceptable. It's staggering. We had 227 horses destroyed on our tracks in 2005. And that doesn't count soft-tissue injuries or bowed tendons or suspensories."
