Looking at the incidents this year.

1 Horse died of 'heart attack' like symptoms while running - Time Runs would not of changed this.

1 Horse broke his leg mid run with no interfearance - Time Runs would not of changes this.

1 Horse got into accident due to another drive - Time Runs would help this.

3 Horses died during the start barrel turns when the lead broke his leg - Time Runs would not help this.

So even if they had moved to Time Runs this year, you could argue 5/6 of the deaths would sadly still of happened.

I do not think that would be the drastic change to help as much as needed
Fine, cut the max speed down to 10 km/h trots
