Unrelenting Force, three, is dead after breaking down in the 8th at Aqueduct yesterday. His trainer was Steve Asmussen (yes, that Steve Asmussen). Unrelenting is the 15th Thoroughbred killed at a New York Racing Association track this year. Reform is a ruse; “safe racing” is a lie. Horseracing kills. Period.

Running in today’s $1.5 million Dubai Golden Shaheen, Kentucky-bred Zenden broke down horrifically – but doesn’t that pretty much describe them all? – immediately after “winning” (BloodHorse: “triumph turned to tragedy”). He is dead, at five. https://youtu.be/ib1jili_STU full race… https://youtu.be/q1OaQyBMIOw
