Thank you @TomAmossRacing and @EMoralesRacing and so appreciate having the “ feed” to see and hear @JoeyDaKRacing and @JohnGDooley 🤗🤗- from lonely Az !- Miss u guys😉

I sadly just do not see welfare reform or change- the majority of all monies- all major tracks and sales companies all goes to TAA, which does great work FOR established 501-C’s BUT leaves too many horses at auctions or kill pens w people that can’t afford it rescuing them- I’ve communicated this over and over w Repole representatives. ALL horses that race need aftercare not just those that have affluent caring owners.

Cazadero - thank you to prior connections for retiring this warhorse last night ❤️- earner of over 400,000 running on the bottom for 4000 at Delta last night - following his past performances - it exemplifies why HISA regulated tracks at least offer some protection of our horses

@GrahamMotion Thank you for your words, having lost my dad and brother in a plane crash, and relating to this tragedy for the families, ALL that matters is empathy and prayers for them, not politics

This is Shacks Way that raced at Remington on 9-5-24 - this is the same horse 129 days after his last race. Nobody knows yet who or how this happened. He was saved from certain death by @TheBridgeSanct1 and @C2RacingStable, neither made one cent off his 214,717 in earnings. He is NOT alone as so many tbs off the track meet this same fate. As industry leaders fight for control, and claim we are dealing with horse welfare - one must ask and agree- we have to do better starting w education on those licensed on rehoming “ your” horses no longer wanted.

When a horse is running at a track - Remington in Nov - and ends up like this 2 months later, along with burning his tattoo off - doesn’t this warrant a much bigger investigation by “ those in power” in lieu of those that rescued him #shacksway???

thank you to @DavidIngordo for finding Amber and @reredevaux for another great training job!

Happy new year and may 2025 be filled with kindness, love, and compassion -

Kentucky Humane Society Nursing Six Neglected Thoroughbreds, Including Breeders’ Cup Also-Ran Think it’s fair to say that anyone that cares about this industry read this and contribute to Herculean efforts by rescue“ lessons learned” does not suffice

Think it was just yesterday - after reading @flysofree article - my thoughts were as to the problems of all rescue money going to “established” organizations yet so many horses falling into an abyss- tragic and so sad

“We talk about aftercare and pretend the kill pens aren’t there “ - thank you @flysofree for no truer words spoken as to welfare - the industry is not addressing those that continue to get rid of their horses the “ easy uneducated way” and too many horses pay the price - wake up @hisa_us , @jockeyclub @nationalhbpa

Appreciate @flysofree exceptional series on the ongoing travesty of bail/kill pens. For years, it continues and it is the saddest plight for racehorses. The industry continues to collect monies at sales, racetracks, all going to the same organizations, which do great work for those that do responsibly retire their horses. BUT the industry does nothing nor collect money for the hundreds of thrown away broodmares or the horses, discarded like trash by their connectionis, at auctions for kill buyers. Talk does nothing until this industry, the jockey club, HBPA HISA, those in "power" start to take punitive action against those that knowingly discard horses like trash, knowing where they will end up and simply not caring. They have no place in horse racing. We know who they are, report it and always get the same answer, "there is nothing they can do." Does that even make sense in a supposed regulated industry?

@flysofree another very important article- can never thank you enough for the herculian work you do on behalf of horses- thank you !

I truly hope everyone connected with horses, particularly Tbs, reads this article- its so important in the world of social media and "kill pens"- another brilliant piece by @flysofree

With what at times, seems like a climate of negativity, Want to give @OaklawnRacing my appreciation for such a professional staff and one of the most user friendly racetracks I have dealt with- particularly Taylor in licensing and Lori, Horsemens bookeeper- You all make it such a pleasure - thank you !

@HorseRacingKK @ChurchillDowns Thanks for all you do Kevin - huge help!

Grateful for all the animals - friends that have brought me so much joy - happy Thanksgiving to all w hopes that kindness takes us forward into 2025

No matter what side anyone is on as to politics - horse racing -life - unity, talking, coming together for a better future will always be the only path-

Horse racing, as most know is so challenging, so many ups and downs, so days like this are so rare- Thank you so much to @TomAmossRacing and @luissaezpty
