Why did they shorten the Kentucky Derby race track in 1896?
I wouldn't use this for a research paper, but I think the Kentucky Derby was shortened because it simply was too much for the horse to run that long. There is a bigger risk of death to horses if they are forced to sprint for a longer amount of time, and I'll use Barbaro as an example. Barbaro was a horse who competed in the Kentucky Derby who shattered his leg two weeks after the Derby which lead to death. Although this occurred after the shortening of the race (2006 I believe), the Derby is still a risk of injury or even death in some cases. --14-year-old horse freak :) I hope I hinted an idea?
