New Pass, a 3-year-old under the whip for just the 4th time, was killed in the 7th at Belmont yesterday. According to the NYS Gaming Commission, the filly “suffered a fatal musculo-skeletal injury in the vicinity of the 1/16 pole and was euthanized on the track.” They added, “investigation to follow.” Allow me to save resources here – horseracing, by its very nature, kills horses. That’s about the size of it. New Pass, by the way, is the 14th racehorse to die at Belmont Park this year.

I am still reeling from all of this. No, I had not known, all of my life. Imagine being cheated of your life at only age 3 and up to that time tortured. If we were a decent society, people would be imprisoned for what is happening.
Imagine BEING bred to be abused and thrown out.
There will be an investigation, really!!
The investigation sorely needed is one by a 3rd party into the corruption and abhorrent animal abuse and cruelty pervasive in this gambling business. But that will never happen because money trumps all in this industry.
