This may link into a report in the Equine Veterinary Journal titled Risk factors for fatality in jump racing Thoroughbreds in GB ( 2010 - 23 ) which was published on 12 December 2024. It concluded that reducing the risk of falling and racing on softer ground could substantially reduce fatalities in jump racing.

It includes an analysis of fatalities linked to the official going.

   starts/ fatalities per 1000 starts
Firm and good to firm 7830/55 7
good 53827/366 6.8
good to soft    33558/200 6
soft    32637/163 5
heavy 14070/52 3.7

In steeplechase racing, starts made in summer and by non-GB trained horses experienced higher fatality rates. In hurdling, maiden races were at higher odds of fatality.
