Baffert sending Improbable and Game Winner to the Rebel and if there are no defections then they will split it into 2 races with points split as well.
As far as fatalities, here in Kentucky there were 36 fatalities and 24 were at Churchill with 16 of those in races and 8 in training. I have stated before this is a car wreck vs plane wreck mentality. Far more people die in auto accidents than in planes but because the loss of life in a plane wreck is greater then that is what gets the headlines. You heard almost nothing about the 24 deaths @ CD because it happened over the year where as SA happened in 3 months.
There are 3 options here
1. You do everything humanly possible to make dirt and turf tracks safe and keep horses healthy and accept that there will be fatalities and injuries in the sport.
2. Mandate that tracks go to synthetic(which ever type they choose) and pray that the stuff the horses are breathing in does not kill them down the road or that it effects them as far as breeding goes.
3. Stop racing.
