What steps could horse racing take toward greater safety?
Ban whips 6%
Eliminate dirt tracks 5%
Fewer races for young horses 25%
All of the above 29%
None of the above 35%


Voted for all of the above with sadness that so many votes went to none of the above. The safest of all would be to ban horse racing completely.
Noted with thanks, Linda
