2nd horse in 2 days, 29th overall, dies at Santa Anita

A second horse in two days and 29th overall has died at Santa Anita, where management has chosen to continue racing for the rest of the current meet.

A day earlier, Formal Dude pulled up in the 10th race and was vanned off the track after breaking down nearing the finish line. Tiago Pereira was aboard the favorite trained by Phil D'Amato. The 4-year-old gelding was winless in six career starts and had earnings of $15,127, according to Equibase. Formal Dude was euthanized.

The CHRB recommended that Santa Anita suspend racing but allow horses to continue training, believing it would provide the industry extra time to fully implement announced safety initiatives.

Stop racing!

Must consider the possibility that we have a serial horse killer.

As a longtime peta supporter & adopter of 3 rescued horses, I agree that if Santa Anita won't voluntarily suspend racing, we must shut the track down. And then on to other tracks ...

What is happening

Why would anyone chance taking their horse there?

How many horses have to die b4 something is done? Do they not care? What the fuck is happening there? This is unacceptable & should be investigated! Or starting shooting grounds ppl, owners, workers share holders, etc! Maybe then they'll do something!

When is someone going to intervene for these innocent horses? It's outrageous horse racing is even allowed.

This place needs to be shit down and people need to boycott it.

Possible thought process: There's money to be made, and it's just an animal after all. Plenty of time to sweep this under the rug after racing season.

Stressing the horses, poisoning the horses or killing the horses which one is it?

Something is very wrong here. Someone or something is killing these horses.

How many horse's have to die before someone looks into this.

When will it stop? This is unreal.

Need a serious investigation into this!

Maybe because people should STOP 'racing'.them.

Shut this down!!!!!

Get those horses out of there! What kind of psycho would keep their horses there?!

That race track needs to be shut down.
