Yesterday, G Q Covergirl “broke down” – “both front legs,” says the LA Times – while training at Santa Anita. She was six years old and trained by Doug O’Neill, the very same Doug O’Neill cynically and despicably leading the “counter protesters” out in front of California tracks. Wondering how the “We Support Horseracing” crowd feels about fearless leader “Druggie” notching another dead horse.
G Q Covergirl is the 40th horse to die at Santa Anita this year. 40. At what point, America, do you stop believing their lies (“enhanced safety measures,” “welfare improvements”)? Horseracing kills – always has, always will. It must end. So today, I am calling on one morally courageous California legislator to start the process. History is watching; you will be rewarded accordingly.
The Santa Anita 40. (While reading and remembering, please note: At this point in last year’s Fall Meet, Santa Anita had the exact same number of dead horses – five. With the whole world watching, with more scratches and reduced fields – not because they care; rather, they can ill afford more negative press – the killing continues on schedule. Again, it is what it is.)

This trainer makes very caring and compassionate horse owners and trainers look like evil people. I believe this guy needs to be ban!
Stop horseracing period. Isn’t the death of 40 horses so far this year enough. It’s a sport that is not needed and these beautiful horses died only for greed.
This is unreal. That track needs shut down. At least until they find out what is going on!! One horse is one to many to die this way. Some of the horses are to young and their bodies are not mature enough to race,but that’s at all the tracks. Close this down and do some intensive investigating !!!
Can’t even tell you how sad an angry 💔 💔 I’ am. this horse racing etc. Is right up there w Mike Vic they need extremely harsh punishment awfully sad 😢 😢😢 stop horse racing
