Subject: RE: Folklore: Appleby Horse Fair: A Tradition Too
The horse racing deaths happen in front of thousands too, millions in the case of those on TV at Aintree/Cheltenham which are shown on TV.
There is no record of horses killed in training as far as I can see. Animal Wtch reckon the total of horses killed on courses are approx one third of those who die needlessly in total.
