Horses who race mostly on the synthetic seem to be fitter and sounder. My opinion anyway. It will be interesting again to see how many dirt horses get injured in the last month before the Derby. Last year was pretty horrendous.

Don't let a few stakes winners skew your understanding as many from Woodbine have bombed there.

Are you going to continue this foolishness? Should we post every injury on every surface until the Derby?

Say, whatever happened to War Pass and I Want Revenge? How's Winslow Homer doing? Maybe he'll take the Quality Road path.

The Pamplemousse was a pretty highly regarded 3 year old before he was hurt. As was Take Control.
The point isn't that they were champions. The point is horses get hurt on all surfaces. But, you know that.
