    • Abstract:
      This article discusses the injury of champion racehorse Barbaro and the questions it raises about the general health and well-being of racing horses. The breeding and training of racehorses has progressed to younger and younger animals, who are bred specifically for speed. This has caused a jump in the number of lethal injuries sustained by horses during competition.
