That's too much. What the fuck are they doing to kill these horses?

The sport is dying. They can't keep it safe because they have to run horses in 90 degree heat in Aug. in Florida.




Is there racing in Dubai???

Not sure I understand your repeated linking of Saratoga deaths to Florida heat? Saratoga Springs is in upstate New York, 3 hours north of NYC. FWIW there have been 7 fatalities at Gulfstream in 2023. All of them prior to May. https://horseracingwrongs.org/killed-2023/
