So sad. I think we are all grieving this today and will be thinking about it for weeks to come. What can be done to prevent these track tragedies?

I thought that was just awful. In the old days a horse would do hundreds of races, now they do one and die. Maybe they aren't prepared enough and over bred for speed?
