This is a real problem; the end of life experience for horses. There needs to be a humane solution to this. I just stumbled across a bit of information on pedigreequery that former NY sire Kettle Won was purchased at a slaughter auction. The owner is listed as Anstu Farm (I hope they enjoy their NY stallion awards for KW). He stands #50 on current NY sire list. He does not appear on any stallion search.
A PETA person on tv contended 90% of race horses end up slaughtered and Waldrop did not refute that.
