Since December, 16 Horses Have Died At Aqueduct Racetrack

Since December, 16 Horses Have Died At Aqueduct Racetrack Since the start of the winter meet at Aqueduct, 16 horses have broken down, all on the weatherproofed inner track. Suddenly, being a stunthorse on Luck doesn't seem like such a bad idea. New York's governor has asked the NY Racing Association to commission an independent investigation. [Daily Racing Form]
