There was a four-horse “crash” (not my word) at the Meadowlands Friday. Apparently, all four – Tennis Queen (whose “bad step” started it), Miss Genie Mae, Katie Cotton, Job Crunch – survived. “Just scraped and bruised,” says the track. “Just scraped and bruised.”
Over 10 days (Oct 17-Nov 2) at Cumberland Run, the following scratches:
Dream Waver, “lame”
Alli Wantisyou, “sick”
RK’s Toni, “sick”

I would like to read (and know that it happened in reality and not just my “dreams”) that an authority outside of this industry of Criminal Animal Abusers came onto the racetrack and busted every single one of these heartless thugs for their constant abuse and torture of horses.
