While not all the “vanned” end up dead, most do, as borne out by our subsequent reporting. “Bled,” “Returned Bleeding From Nostrils”: pulmonary hemorrhage.
Yes, but how about those LEADERS in transparency, the near-silent New York State Gaming Commission? Did they just get tired of being the only racing state to publicly report their carnage? Or did HISA officials strongly suggest that they ease up on making admissions, since they’re making every other death track in the country appear to be hiding horse kills? (They are hiding them, but HISA wants to be the ones to do that particular job. Guess they figure Fake-Safety seems more legit on the federal level.)
