Yet another horse was injured on Friday.

This horse was lucky and it wasn't killed. Over the years over 100 horses have not been so lucky.
You are right, we should be disturbed by this. One horse death should have shut down the whole chuckwagon races.
Not even one race has been cancelled. The only response has been to ban one driver who was considered to be responsible for Thursday's horse death. He may have been responsible for that actual incident, but the races themselves are prone to accidents that are fatal to horses. This goes on year after year.
We really should question what we consider entertainment. Why do we like to watch "sports" where animals get killed?
