Just was discussing in racing , the improbability of making licensed individuals change ? And why nobody in any regulatory authority can get rid of those that simply do not care - here’s Joe Don Looney awaiting shipping to slaughter - from Gary Hartunian ( Turf Paradise failure) who readily gets “rid” of his horses to Burton Sipp - yep still doing what he has done for years -

So much wrong with this - amazing nobody can fix those that continue to run crippled horses - always one last race til nothings left or they die - heartfelt thanks to New Vocations that have a program for those only “ pasture sound”

The “ need “ for horses is crazy - Linda rice takes 2 for 200,000😳- in the 25,000 the whole field except the winner - I comically didn’t really love anything today 🤷🤷🤷

We have contaminants throughout our country and at the race track - IF one has no idea where it came from- your career is forever harmed - this is so wrong- We still are stagnant at “ getting” those that abuse horses and mask harmful drugs. There just is no common sense - I’m not sure we ever figure this out but it’s egregious
An arbitrator called Corrales and his wife sincere witnesses, but said the trainer couldn’t show how nikethamide got into his horse’s system. Details: paulickreport.com/news/the-b…

Wrong right or indifferent - ( and for transparency , having been involved in the horrific condition of so many horses she was trusted with) why would anyone even want to go where she is truly not wanted - the community paid to save so many horses - not a penny from Maria

Another well reasoned article by @jonathanstettin interesting that vet records on some horses I’ve claimed - looked like they might be train wrecks and they were not and some w little vet work were problematic 🤷

Albuterol vs steroids ? when will it end? Take a look at Winston Wolf ( at Fair Hills ) from same “ trainer “
Horse trainer Angel Quiroz has been charged with a Presence violation (positive test) for albuterol, a Banned Substance, from a sample collected from the horse Bonita Rough on July 10, 2026 at Fair Hill Training Center, according to the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit. Quiroz trained multiple horses that raced Sunday at Monmouth Park and Saratoga and attracted unusual betting interest. The races are now under investigation.

Disgusting - chaotic state of horse racing - obvious coup over horse racing that in all likelihood will never be resolved or punished and Begging for money to save more tbs all while millions and millions being spent - just another day on social media

Fighting mad - this fundraiser for this mare “ stalled”. Breeders 👇🏻 dump her- industry full of money @jockeyclub refuses to change their rules punishing breeders unless state acts ( la??? Really??) and she sits in this hell hole ? People w zero contact w this mare pinching in 10 dollars- so damn mad- so I have to pay the damn difference ??? ( I did) As my own bills for my own horses pour in. And breeders walk away Scott free
Ill save you some time - This gallant mare Shytoe Lafeet, now 23, found herself in a Kill pen in Miss - her last connections were Jay Adcock and Mary McFadden after they got 5 foals- in LA- it was one of her original trainers _ Larry Jones that is providing her a home- so my question is simple- how does the Jockey club and the LA breeders assoc simply ignore this??????

well guess I can tag them @EVDRCH - can you, "once again", try and do something about out the stable gate directly to kill buyer auctions and/or kill buyers lot????
Might want to tag- contact Evangeline downs and ask them how their anti-slaughter policy is working? These horses ran July 2026 and are at Bastrop - ( Stanley Brothers). Kill buyers
