Death and Disarray at America’s Racetracks

[robertob]

Really impressive read in the NY Times (the videos there are no less impressive), though very sad and disturbing and shows why US racing is just a disgrace - in my mind at least: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/us/death-and-disarray-at-americas-racetracks.html?_r=1

Re: Death and Disarray at America’s Racetracks Edited the link for you as it was a dead one :ok American racing at the lower levels really is extremely bad for the sport. The sooner they get rid of the use of Lasix, the better. The kind of things that get a life ban over here are punished in America by a slap on the wrist and that hardly helps. We're very lucky that in Europe we have much less of these endemic problems that seemingly plague American racing.
