Any rules that would help prevent injury are welcome.

Toe grabs are treacherous and definitely contributed to the death of Eight Belles. Why did it take such a tragedy to bring this to attention? There were SEVEN fatalities at Churchill Downs in the spring meet. How many can be attributed to toe grabs, whips, steroids. Clean up this profligate industry!! “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Mahatma Gandhi
