I just read that the 2nd place horse broke both front ankles and had to be euthanized. God that's so sad. After Barbaro I don't think I could ever watch another horse race. After this one I'm not sure I can stomach that the sport exists.

Is there something different about tracks, horses, training, speeds, or whatever that is causing this? I don't think I've ever heard of this happening in major races in my life, and now twice in a few years a horse's legs just spontaneously combust during a race.
