    [Derby] Horse Fatality Rates Drop in 2019


Fatalities are dropping for competitive racing. The artificial surfaces continue to outperform in safety over other surfaces. And fatalities are trending down on dirt and up on turf.


“Once again, the data showed that the fatality rate on artificial surfaces is well below that of turf and dirt, at 0.93 per 1,000 starts. Dirt surfaces had a 1.60 fatality rate in 2019, while turf surfaces had a 1.56 rate.”
