    Author: Hill T, Carmichael D, Maylin G, Krook L.
    Journal: Cornell Vet; 1986 Oct; 76(4):361-79. PubMed ID: 3757519.
    Abstract:
    The incidences of fractures and soft tissue injuries during 68397 starts of thoroughbred horses at New York Racing Association tracks were analyzed concerning track condition, dirt and turf tracks, environmental conditions, length of races, location of fractures on the track, and age of horses. It was concluded that the conditions evaluated are of no importance in the occurrence of racing injuries to thoroughbred horses.
