I started getting into this game in 1986-1987.
Horses were breaking down back then.
Horses were breaking down in the 90s
Horses continued to break down after that, as they do today.
Game still here.
Horses will continue to break down both out in the field on a farm...and on the racetrack. Wherever horses run hard, there's always the chance that one of them is going to break down.
You're NEVER going to stop it...stop acting like this is something new.
The fact is, breakdowns have DECREASED substantially, according to the statistics, over the past 15 years.
Instead of celebrating that accomplishment, we have people on here acting like horses never broke down before.
it's surreal, actually
it's like this place has been invaded by a bunch of PETA folk who have no clue.
