Not sure if we have many podcast listening folks on PA, but just in case, ESPN just released a podcast series about the deaths at Santa Anita.
Episode 1: 'When A Horse Dies' An examination of the 49 dead horses at Santa Anita. This episode examines the theories into what happened and its effect on the people who live and work at the track.
Episode 2: 'Inheritance' A look into the history of thoroughbred horse racing in America from the family dynasties that rose during the Industrial Revolution all the way through the 20th century, when a possible murder changed all of this from a sport to a business.
Episode 3: 'The House Is Condemned' A trip to the breeding farms of Kentucky where the fastest horses in the world are made, but not without also passing on the dangerous defects in their blood. All of this will lead us to examine the question: What is the future of horse racing?
