Fatalities by Track

Postby Derby132 » Sun Aug 15, 2010 6:33 pm

Is there a way to find out number of fatalities by track for a given meet? I have heard of two fatalities at Saratoga so far this meet, both 2yo apparent heart attacks during training. I would like to know if there are others at Saratoga I am not aware of, same for other tracks. Anyone have sources that track this kind of information?

What is the period for this data?? Is it since 2005??

Also, people I know always bash Charles Town and while I agree the surface is hard and the turn to home is tight they do race 50 weeks a year and their 6 fatalities seems to compare well with Belmont's 17, Philly's 20, Gulfstream's 18 and Churchhill's 18..

Am I missing something here??
