I love racing but I'm sick and tired of seeing horses break down in the limelight and also on the track when fewer people see it happen. The horse racing powers are such an incredibly monolithic bunch when it comes to change, so I'm not holding out much hope they'll get it together. It's a shame really. They have moved on sythetic surfaces but that's only a small part of the change needed, not a cure all.

And you're absolutely spot on about Afleet Alex. What a wonderful horse he is and I hope he makes great babies that tear up the track.
