Melbourne Cup: Two horses killed

[Catherine]

I just wish all the horse race situations would do a mortality review. Maybe they could compare the different races. There might be room for improvement in handling things.

Every time a construction worker is killed in Ontario they do look at it and see if it was preventable. Sometimes it was just an unfortunate accident and sometimes they find a cause that can be changed.

Certainly injured horses are a problem because some injuries are so hard to heal in a horse. I would hope the vets keep asking themselves if there is a way to fix some injuries that we can't fix right now.
