Through a FOIA request to the Indiana Horse Racing Commission, I have confirmed the following kills at that state’s two tracks thus far this year.
Enchantedly, May 23, Horseshoe R – “[multiple] fractures, suspensory failure”
Lady Kvn, May 30, Horseshoe R – “vertebral fracture, spinal cord tear” (first ever race)
Eye Poppin Trip, Jun 2, Hoosier S – “necrotizing enteritis, rupture”
Toss of Fate, Jun 10, Horseshoe R – “compound fracture”
No Ill Will, Jun 22, Horseshoe R – “condylar fracture”
Just a Notion, Jun 24, Horseshoe T – “[multiple] fractures, [one] open”
American Cactus, Jun 25, Hoosier S – “acute neurologic”
These so-called horsemen abusing and killing their horses should be arrested and punished severely. Horse racing is unacceptable cruelty to horses.
