    • It's important to note that the track had already been safety checked, sounds like by the same UK team that checked ours recently. "officials said had undergone evaluation for evenness, consistency, bounce, and cushion. Experts had rototilled the surface, harrowed it, and applied additional treatments to improve areas of concern. Also that a number of the injuries were not attributed to the track “We’re very happy with the progress we’ve made,” said Woodbine CEO Michael Copeland in an interview on the track feed Dec. 1. “We have a safe track. Some of the issues we’ve had over the past few weeks have not been related to the track but cause us to step back and say, 'What can we do about it?' We’ve worked with the AGCO, the HBPA, everybody in various capacities in the industry to make sure horses are not running when they’ve been under stress that could cause an increased chance of injury, but at the same time we want to make sure owners and trainers have a chance to get into races. We know that’s important.” A year earlier, the Woodbine Tapeta had the lowest injury rate of any track in the country, so to some extent, it may been the numbers catching up with themselves.
