Just throwing this in here, genuinely curious (and worried...).
What is the presumed issue here causing the uptick in deaths? First of all, is it an uptick? (Some evidence suggests otherwise.) Is it the hard dirt tracks in America? Is it the in-breeding? Have comparable numbers of deaths increased in NZ, Aus, Japan and/or Europe?
It’s a scary thing but you just know the SJW/PETA crowd (as below) are trying to kill the sport Stateside.

'The sport is at a tipping point': Inside US horse racing’s deadly crisis
[...]
The sword of Damocles hanging over horse racing appears no idle threat. “Californians will end horse racing at the ballot box,” promised animal rights activist, April Montgomery, at a California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) meeting in May. It’s not just the racing industry in California that animal rights activists have set their sights on. “We’re going to end it, and it’s going to start with California,” Montgomery warned.

The future of horse racing in America is at a crossroads amid the headline-grabbing rash of fatalities at Santa Anita Park, yet the consequences of a wholesale ban would be far-reaching

The bookies haven't cut me off for a reason.....the 13 years of mug betting previously!
Speaking of bookies cutting us off, I lost ladbrokes this week. Taken some big wins off them previously but got account back and all was well but now limited for no reason. The livechat discussion got heated (on my side anyway) and now I have about $25 in the account and the bets are not being accepted at all!
So add that to Neds in the no category for now. A mate of mine got chopped from 365 during the netball world cup. Took $35k off them in about 5 days then bam the email came through. Set an account up in his partners name and won $3k then bam gone again. Must have linked them through IP addresses or betting analytics.
Really interesting. An extremely wealthy professional gambler (he's well known in Aus) got cut off from all of them. Started using betfair - I believe that the odds are set by other punters so nobody actually sets the odds? Anyway the guy is a multimillionaire and maths genius, so there is hope for you gamblers (if you are either of those).
He also ditches his hot girl friends when they hit 19 years old. He's probably about 60 now.

The Whitney Stakes ran yesterday at Saratoga in NY (best race course in America). The purse is not huge — only a million dollars — but the prestige in American racing is huge. Outside of the Breeders Cup, it is the highest rated race (along with the Kentucky Derby) on the continent. Mile-and-1/8 on the dirt for three-year-olds and up. Godolphin scratched their entry late. Top trainer Bob Baffert won his first Whitney, and was choked up in the post-race interview. Good to see.

Update: Trainer reaching in to his book of excuses came out with "coming back from injury" and "shit ride from the jockey"
So i watched the replay, and you know what, he might even know what he is talking about. The midget fuck on the back fucked us. She jumps great and for some reason he pulls her back deep in to the field, to the point she is 2nd last entering the straight. She actually starts to make a heap of ground late, gets blocked by a horse wandering over the track, and he just pulls her up. Fuck that midget!
This whole game is fucking rigged.

Teach the midget a lesson in the car park. Just hope no bystander thinks you're giving a kid a flogging.

@Hooroo Polly still got a run or two left in her this campaign then?
Ran on well on the weekend!
Yes, I thought she was going to be freshened up after her last start as I thought that was the last Saturday at Te Rapa for a while but it's next weekend.
She ran awesome last two starts.
