Wednesday, says the CHRB, Music Babe, seven, died while training at Golden Gate – “sudden death,” they’re calling it. Next day, same track, Snazzy Cazzy perished – again, “sudden death.” Snazzy was just three. This makes 14 dead horses at the Stronach-owned Golden Gate this year. The writing is on the wall, Belinda. Close this death camp and sell. Get out while your reputation is still intact.

Deaths just disclosed by the NYS Gaming Commission:

This brings the 2021 NY Death Toll to 44. That’s 44 fully sentient beings sacrificed for gambling. America, are we not better than this?

Woodbury, in the 2nd at Parx yesterday: “WOODBURY vied for the lead outside, suffered a catastrophic injury while dueling near the eighth pole and was subsequently euthanized.” He was five years old; ’twas his 32nd time under the whip.
