On Tuesday, 4-year-old American Iron perished while practicing at Finger Lakes. The Stephen Ubbink-trained filly had been under the whip six times, all in 2013, and had earned but $4,300. To racing, no great loss. NY’s 2014 Death Toll: 24.

American iron will never feel the sting of that whip again. One of 24 for NY. How outrageous is that ?
American Iron, the tragic loss of your life is significant and it MATTERS to us!
RIP, little one…I am so sorry.
Destroyed by the racing industry….American Iron you deserved so much better.
