Continued . . .
Glaringly underrepresented on this Memorial are racecourse incidents that occur in France. That’s because we rarely find such data online. (French tracks appear in bold-blue font on Memorial.)
Are French tracks so safe that horses are not fatally injured? Or, does France downplay fatalities, giving the illusion that it is exempt from the misfortunes befalling other racing nations?
France has a long and illustrious horseracing tradition with magnificent horses who deserve to be remembered, just like their counterparts on racetracks worldwide.
If you hear of a racehorse fatality that occurs on a French track, please let us know via the Suggest a Horse form. Thanks!
