I havnt the energy to read the whole thread, but heres my thoughts on it.
Imnot entirely sure about the racing of fillies and colts myself, its a dodgy area, In terms of english racing i always chose not to watch the derby. But i think that interms of accients they are sad and regretable, but htey happen.
Would you end football if a player died?
And with each fatality more effrt is raised to prevent further ones. From what i have heard from a friend training to be a jockey they are carefully trained, he has been told if anything seems wrng to pull up or go slow, not to harm the horse. These horses are far too valubal to their owners and trainers to risk death jsut for a win.
And for anyone who worries about the whips i read anarticle years ago that theyre shock absorbing now so less painful.
Anyway, apologies if ive repeated whats allready been said i am lazy
