“Vanned Off”: exactly how it sounds – the horse was unable to walk off the track on his own and required the “equine ambulance.” While not all of these horses end up dead, most do, as borne out by my year-end FOIA reports.
“Bled/Returned Bleeding From Nostrils”: typically indicates pulmonary hemorrhage.

Let’s keep at it!! We must and will.
Use, abuse, exploit, cripple and dump. This is horseracing…😞💔
Horseracing is corrupt through and through and needs to be stopped at the recognized racetracks and the illegal tracks.
Try and connect with Animal Aid in the UK, they run a similar ‘death watch’ on British racecourses. They try and report all injuries and deaths daily so perhaps you could work together to denounce horse racing worldwide, as even racehorses in the UK end up in the slaughterhouse……
