⚠️ More cruelty exposed in Pennsylvania horseracing.

Recent rulings from the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission reveal the following:

At Presque Isle Downs, owner/stable employee Miguel Alberto Olguin was found with an electric shocking device in his vehicle.

At Parx Racing, owner Angel Cuello (AC Racing Stable) was found to be in possession of needles and loaded syringes

This is the reality of horseracing: violence, abuse, and cruelty are not rare — they are systemic. And yes, while HISA bans electric shockers, it still openly allows the use of whips. Horses in Pennsylvania and across the nation are suffering for human greed and "entertainment". This must end.

💔 Silver Skillet collapsed and died while training at Belmont: “reared and collapsed – diagnosis: sudden death.” She was just five years old and had already been whip-driven 22 times, her last race at Saratoga on August 22.

Silver is now one of 21 horses killed at Belmont Park this year alone — part of the mounting death toll across New York tracks.

This is not “sport.” This is systemic, taxpayer-funded cruelty. Horseracing kills — and it must end.

Yesterday at Saratoga, 2-year-old Catchy "suffered a catastrophic injury to her left foreleg and fell after the wire then was euthanized on track.” This was her first and only race, and her demise marks 17 deaths at Saratoga Race Course thus far this summer. Horseracing is animal cruelty. 🚫🏇

Baytown Vegas was only 2 years old when he was killed at Turfway Park on April 12th. His necropsy report tells the story of his suffering:

“Horse was galloping when it went down on the track: complete, comminuted fracture of the scapula; large amount of hemorrhage.”
“Stomach ulceration.”
“The presence of a preexisting periosteal callus associated with the acute fracture line in this case is consistent with a repetitive stress injury leading to a catastrophic musculoskeletal failure. A similar callus is noted on the contralateral limb.”

“Repetitive stress” — on a horse who had just turned two and was being prepped for his very first race.

He is one of 21 horses killed at Kentucky tracks this year alone. This is not sport — this is animal cruelty. 🚫🏇

Please take action and share...

TAKE ACTION: Nearly half of all National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) lands allow the use of steel-jaw leghold and other body-gripping traps, which aren’t selective about who they catch and inflict prolonged agony on wildlife, pets, and people caught in their grip. Please ask your US representative to cosponsor the Refuge from Cruel Trapping Act (H.R. 4108), legislation to remove these traps from the NWRS, with limited exceptions: https://www.congressweb.com/AWI/531?framed_parent_url_id=5F577FB3-5056-86BC-D9754A52E4DFBD1E

If horseracing is a sport, then that word must be redefined. In what other sport are the athletes:

kept in intensive, solitary confinement for over 23 hours a day?

led around by lip chains and controlled with metal bits?

whipped – beaten – for motivation?

routinely dying on the playing field?

Over 1,800 horses are killed at US tracks every year. Horseracing is no sport; it is animal cruelty. 🚫🏇
