CA equine fatalities up 5 percent in 2011-2012

[Southieboy]

Equine fatalities rose by 5 percent at California racetracks for a 12-month period ending last June, with a significant rise in training deaths at Santa Anita.

The data was released on Friday by the California Horse Racing Board as part of an annual review of racing in the state. The review covered racing for the fiscal year from July 1, 2011, to June 30, 2012. In the 2011-12 fiscal year, there were 278 horses euthanized in California as a result of injuries during racing and training, or deaths attributed to a wide array of illnesses, including colic, and respiratory and neurological diseases, the report stated. Of those 278, 207 were euthanized as a result of injuries from racing and training, while 71 were classified as having died from illnesses.

How many were Cal breds? how many were jumpers doesn't even say if they were standard or thoroughbred or whatever! Pretty Political if you ask me or maybe someone creating a inconclusive report to advance an agenda.

I think it's better to let N.Y. take the lead on this stuff. California already went through the misery of counting.

That's why Santa Anita changed the surface mid 2012 and added 1000 tons of sand. This story is not big news.
