Yet another list of maiming and/or dying.
This is not a “sport,” – this is a butcher show.
All of the horses on this list matter, but I want to focus on 2.
DOC MO’S DAUGHTER – trained by the infamous maimer and killer Python Patricia Farro.
This lady maims and/or kills racehorses on a weekly basis.
She has a ton of horses in training or racing, and her racing stable is a never ending revolving door.
One gets maimed or killed and another one replaces that one.
One of her main MO’s is claiming old warriors only to squeeze the last breathe of life out of them as they are “vanned-off” or die on the track.
If they don’t fall into these categories then they simply disappear off the radar.
Python Patricia has been doing this for years, and it seems obvious that she’s in with the gang at Penn.
In any other setting in this country, she would be in jail on Felony Animal Cruelty charges.
Like I’ve said before, a python has more morals than this life-squeezing killer.
HARLAN PUNCH – 5 year old that has made $779,058 running at the top levels of this game.
Not even close to a million protects these horses, and gives them a soft landing.
Instead, the never ending doping and masking to keep him going, to pick up another buck is what it’s about.
Brad Cox – the “trainer” has maimed and killed many before Harlan Punch.
This is a vile business with vile people in it.
Look at todays entries at parx most of these horses run every week look at todaus 6th race bowmans beast just raced charlestown recently went off 3 to 5 bottom claimers at ct today back at parx to see whay he can do also 2nd race bellamy cat never close i hope no breakdowns today in this cold weather
It seems that there are a lot of bleeders, sounds like possible doping. These tracks really need to be regulated, testing more often than they are doing, something is obviously, horribly going on.
Here’s two perfect examples, one at the bottom, one at the top. Strong resolve 10 yr old, and glorious empire, look them up.

Billy, I sent two e-mails asking for help for Strong Resolve – one on November 11 of 2017 and again on October 31, 2018. Nothing. Strong Resolve means NOTHING to those who bred and used him…Pin Oak Stud/Pin Oak Stable – they didn’t even bother to answer with a refusal to help him. But refuse to help him they did.
