This from the Gaming Commission for U Vicky at Belmont Sep 10: “flipped over in her stall and struck her head on the wall; found to be deceased as determined by attending vet.” U Vicky was three and had been put to the whip five times, all this year. She is the 16th kill at Belmont this year – and tomorrow will be the first day of racing there.

Rebecca, I thought the same. Horses don’t just flip out of the blue for no reason. I think someone was doing something to cause the horse to flip and somehow we are just expected to be complete dumb asses and not even ask any questions. What total BS!
Flipping in a stall sounds more than suspicious to me. There’s a lot more to this story than what we’re getting, I’m sure.
Wanda. Let this shit show known as the NEW Belmont Park become the next Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant.
For those of you who are not from Long Island, nor old enough to remember it, then look it up.
Trip Advisor sure did make the right call Wanda.
The racing industry press is still trying to sell that disgusting place of horse torture and killings as though it were some kind of piece of heaven. Actually, it is a piece of hell. And the NYRA owes the State millions of dollars. It all depends on the people who are overcome with the vice of gambling to pour their money into the Video Lottery Terminal machines. To profit from the vices of men and women and the abuse and killing of horses. Wow, what a game! What a sport!
Tripadvisor made the right and appropriate move to recognize Animal Cruelty!!!!!!
