The following horses were injured in U.S. races last week and were unable to walk off the track under their own power – i.e., they needed the “equine ambulance.” While fates remain unknown at this time, please know we will eventually get kill confirmations on many if not most via our FOIA reporting. Also, “bled” refers to pulmonary hemorrhage.

For any new confirmed kills from last week, see our running annual list.
The twenty-one horses on this list were reduced to gambling chips by heartless humans. As gambling chips, these horses were forced to suffer injuries that were painful in a way that is not possible for a psychopathic/sociopathic human to comprehend or even try to comprehend.
The daily and weekly routine mistreatment of horses is in the cards in more ways than one in this ruthless industry. For the horses that survived the racetrack, they could possibly have injuries that could render them unwanted by their racing connections.
Nothing says “I love my horses like family” more than dumping your injured and crippled horses off at the livestock auction in the event you didn’t run them to their death on the racetrack. (Sarcasm!)
