Because they can't exactly rest up for 6 weeks.

Why not? Sure, it may not race again, but It can still be put out to pasture.

the horses cannot get up and down, to and from sleep with a broken leg even if trying to heal it.

I think Dave is asking why can't horses use crutches to keep the weight off the leg  |

I think they should start destroying footballers who suffer broken limbs. Sammy Igoe was too stupid to heal properly too  |

The blunt answer is it's cheaper - it'll never race again so owners cash in on the insurance. |

Its not down to money in the main as most owners love their horses.(though money is a factor for some i am sure)
Take Syncronised for instance, why put him down when his spunk would be worth a fortune, even if he never ran again?
Broken legs in horses can lead to all sorts of problems and are not treatable like humans or even dogs. Plenty of info available on the net about it.

Fell at beechers, continued without AP, then fell again at the 11th, and that was it. |

Seems strange that he was put down without consulting with the owner. It also can't have looked that bad a fall if they were waiting for him to run in at the end? |

They're still treating two horses aren't they? Does go to show they aren't all killed for the sake of it.
