now nyra is thinking about it

[Danzig]

different tracks suit different horses, due to differences in running styles, correct? and a horse who feels uncomfortable on a certain surface won't run the same way, or the correct way for him, thus possibly incurring an injury...so, if you take a horse who can move well over dirt, and run him on synthetic, and he detests it and doesn't have the correct action to run over that surface, isn't he at an increased risk for injury? jocks and trainers have conceded that different horses run over it differently-and we all know some like it, and some don't-so how can a blanket statement be made that this surface is 'safer'. seems a horse would be safest where most comfortable, and AWT is not what makes all horses most comfortable.
