Ow!

Are they getting more fragile? Is it the breeding? Is it the training? Is there a trend towards a weaker, more injury prone group of performers?

No, I'm not speaking of the horses. In defense of them, there seems to be a lot of jockey injuries recently. Bejarano, Jara, Velazquez, P Val(?), etc. Maybe we should analyze their family trees, their training schedules and the types of floors they walk on at home. Perhaps we need to install Poly-Jock. It may actually be mandated in California by the time you read this.
