We occasionally spotlight Patrick Battuello’s posts on Tuesday’s Horse to highlight the murder and mayhem that is horseracing in the US, hopeful that you will follow HorseRacingWrongs.com and take part by sharing far and wide on social media.
Social media sharing is the modern era way of spreading the word. We encourage you to please — please — do what you can in this way. It only take a few seconds to click and share.
Make it count even more with imaginative hashtags that will bring more attention and kill off this so-called “sport” before it kills off thousands more horses. #santaanitapark #kills #horses
IN MEMORY OF MONEY MAKIN MIKE
Thoroughbred Racehorse Dead at Three
Battuello writes:
In the 8th Monday at Santa Anita, Money Makin Mike finished last of 9, 44+ lengths back. Besides the horrible finish, the run, according to Equibase, was uneventful: “battled…dropped back…gave way.” But a reader tipped me off that the 3-year-old collapsed after the wire; the Daily Racing Form went one better – “collapsed and died.”
“Collapsed and died” – at three.
This is horseracing.

The carnage continues unabated….. these deaths are utterly inexcusable and unacceptable in a modern society.
