Anyone here know anything about horses? It was the first one I have watched and I was rooting for Eight Bells, and was happy to see her come in second, and of course felt terrible to hear that she had to be put down. It was mentioned to me that these injuries are occurring mostly as a result of breeding for a lighter-boned/ but still very muscular build and that these injuries will probably become more and more common. Anyone know how much truth there is to this?
