Foot Problems

In today's racing world there are many more quarter cracks occurring then occurred even 10 years ago, and on all surfaces. Is this because of track conditions, poorer farriers or breeding unsoundness? Do certain lines pass on bad feet eg- Northern dancer- Danzig- Big brown

Look at all the current politicians getting skewered for doing things that JFK took for granted.
