Peer reviewed scientific study sounds really important until you realize that the reporting of breakdowns and/or injuries has not been done on a whole scale, organized manner until 2 years ago. So all those genius scientists must have had magic wands to interpret data that was incomplete at best and misleading at worst.
Of course, you've never read any of it, you haven't the first clue what the past 30 years contains from numerous sources across three continents.

But you know it's "incomplete at best and misleading at worse".

When they came up with the idea to start the Jockey Club Equine Injury data base they were pretty clear when discussing the need for such a project. We were told that the data that had been collected over the years was woefully insufficient and completely unorganized.

I suppose they were lying.

Because the "scientific community" has done such a great job with track surfaces...
