At least my state looks good..

New Jersey
Monmouth Park: 3 dead racehorses
The Meadowlands
Freehold Raceway
Far Hills Steeplechase: 1 dead racehorse

One thing is clear, Harness racing is a hell of a lot safer for horse and driver. That is why they can race for 15 years.

2019 carnage.

The Meadowlands has its own problems: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...ping/32696263/

Harness racing has its own doping issues and PETA is in their yard too. They don't care how many bodies there are. That's not even the point. It's all a manipulation. They're just looking for an angle.

Folks, I don't get why we're not giving PETA hell over their body count. I believe in the last year there were 1600+ euthanized animals by PETA. Ask Feinstein and Newsom about that. Ask what they're planning to do. Keep up the heat on that. Where's the PETA expose? Nobody wanting to go undercover to show cute animals dead because of them? Hit PETA's pocket book by decreasing enthusiasm to donate, you attack their ability to attack racing. Find out if any of the people writing hit pieces have any animal rights groups connections and insist the publications admit the ethical bias. Hold feet to fire.
