Philly... why?

[my miss storm cat]

I'm so tired of writing Philly on the angels thread.

B.B. Jazz , Sullivans Rainbow, Sunday Shapeup, Greatest Passion, Dime Box...

We're 18 days into the year and there might be more as there are a few I have heard nothing about. Isn't this a bit much?

What's going on? Why Philly?

Can anyone explain this?

Thanks in advance.

It's hard to figure. It's not like they aren't use to the kind of weather they've been happening. Was it last year that Penn National had a lot breakdowns in the winter?

I watch both tracks daily as well as several others..I think it has as much to do with the stock and poor decision making of the trainers/vets as it does the tracks maintainence levels. Horses seem to breakdown a lot more at Penn Nat, although admittedly I don't have any factual stats to back up my overall opinion. I see a good 2 to 4 horses a week.. Penn has 1200 horses on the grounds and at least 400 should have other careers..

You could be right. I just don't remember The PHA having this many breakdowns before.

Do you have a Michael Gill count? If not you should, He has a lot of horses but so do other people.. Take a look at it..

I don't have a count... I know the name and that it's notorious but honestly I don't know all that much.

Can you enlighten me when you have time?
