No, that is not horseracing.
We (fans, handicappers, owners, trainer, etc.) say "That's horseracing" to come to quick terms with inexplicable or completely undesired results of a race.
I have never heard the phrase used in conjunction with a career-ending, life threatening injury to any horse, let alone to a horse with the talent and popularity of Barbaro. A catostrophic injury in plain view of millions of viewers no less.
But, Stronach is bad for the sport, and I shouldn't be surprised. What's your excuse?
