Not to mention all the horse deaths resulting from sending them to slaughter. HOW MANY HORSE DEATHS per 1,000 STARTS COULD WE SAVE by preventing THAT?
How much does it cost to install a new racing surface? How many horses could be saved from slaughter with that money? Wonder how that number would compare with the theoretical number of horses that would be saved by the track surface (although a number of those "saved" might end up at the slaughterhouse anyway one day, so it's kind of a moot point).
