From what I understand this is actually the first fatality they've had at the Kentucky Derby EVER.
When you say that there is tragedy EVERY year, I assume you're basing this on Eight Belles this year, and Barabaro last year.
Well that's super, but Barabaro was hurt at the Preakness, not the Kentucky Derby, so your EVERY YEAR theory, only holds water if you use one year out of over 130.
1 year != Every year
Maybe you should look into it before you start making rediculous statements that are based on false information that only spans about 2% of the lifespan of an event.
