5-year-old Go With Honor was killed training at Finger Lakes this morning; the “report”: “received a fx to the 3rd metatarsal of the left hind limb.” Did you get that, he “received” the fracture. Sick. GWH, by the way, is the 67th horse to perish at a NYS track this year. But it (the killing)…

We activists talk often about horses falling through the ranks – their value dropping with their “production” as they make their way from elite tracks to seedy racinos. More often than not, this ends badly – for most, slaughter, for others, simply being run into the ground, with each successive “connection” trying to suck one…

The entirety of Salto Del Sabio’s “career”: Made Jul 23, 2017. First race Nov 6, 2020, at Gulfstream W: second-to-last, 23 lengths back. Race 2, Dec 4 at Gulfstream: last, 31 lengths back (also “hit rail”). Race 3, Dec 31 at Gulfstream: second-to-last, 54 lengths back. Three days later, Jan 3, 2021: killed training at…

Matt Major, 11, was killed (fractured pastern) in the 7th at Monticello yesterday. He is the 7th dead racehorse at Monticello this year; for all NY harness tracks, this is kill #14 – both extraordinary numbers. View original post

At 1:24 yesterday at Thistledown, Sweetnessncharm “suffered a catastrophic injury before the half mile pole” of race 2 – “and was euthanized.” He was four years old.

Back in March, I wrote about Sequana, one of the worst track-cruelty cases yet. Shortly thereafter, owing to our pressure, Sequana was released from his servitude at the nefarious Camarero Race Track. And a few days ago, I received the following: “Thank you for the work you do. I recently adopted Sequana from Second Chance…

“The All American Quarter Horse Futurity Trials” were held at Ruidoso Downs yesterday. As the name implies, all the entrants were babies, 2-year-olds. As you can imagine, and as I’ve documented several times in the past, there were multiple “bumps” and “fractious” horses, even a “flipped [in] paddock.” But there were also no less than…

Through a FOIA request to the Arizona Dept. of Gaming, I have confirmed the following kills at Arizona Downs thus far this year. (I previously filed a request for Turf that covered Jan-Apr.) (For three of the horses below – Robin’s, Perrys, Separate – full necropsy reports were not in yet.) Robin’s Legacy, May 26,…

In its August issue, the Hill Country Observer did a long cover story on Saratoga Race Course – and us: “For the love of horses: Animal rights activists target Saratoga’s crown jewel.” The full piece merits your attention, but before you read, a thought. The journalist, Stacey Morris, who I feel was exceedingly fair, of…
