I have been doing this for nine years now, but I believe I’ve encountered a first with the racing at Ruidoso (New Mexico) yesterday. In a day of “trials” for 2-year-olds, in addition to multiple “bumped repeatedly,” “bumped both sides,” and “bumped hard,” five – five – of the babies were “vanned off” (read: better than even chance of dead):

In a word, unconscionable. We will follow up with the racing commission Monday.
we need to shut down all horse racing. the deaths are heartbreaking. we cannot take this anymore. it is vile activity to allow gambling on killing horses.
It never ceases to amaze me how humans can rationalize every evil they do to helpless animals.
Federal Law is how it must go down. Law of the land … NO using animals for gambling. End of story. If this was put to an up or down vote it would go down to defeat TODAY .
No argument here.
