While not all the “vanned” end up dead, most do, as borne out by our year-end FOIA reports. But even if death is not the ultimate result, the above are victims nonetheless, suffering painful injuries – in the case of the bleeders, pulmonary hemorrhage – so that some men may gamble, others chase pots of gold. (For any new confirmed deaths during the week, please see our running annual list.)
We absolutely detest those screens. The betting & satellite viewing public should be shown & have to see what happens to horses racing! No hiding the truth or consequences of injuries or breakdowns.
