While major news outlets have not quite caught on to the evils of horse racing, with Lester Holt on NBC Nightly News continuing to propose that horse racing can be safely regulated, other outlets are slowly but surely starting to catch on to the fact that the industry is inherently wrong. Read this OP-ED by Patrick Battuello of Horseracing Wrongs in the Lexington Herald-Leader.

As I've made known, many follow Horseracing Wrongs Patrick Battuello's posts on a daily basis. Today's post was disturbing, as it depicts a horse named Tyler's Tribe who repeatedly bled at races and during training. Yet despite having had to be taken off track due to bleeding no less than 4 times since 2022, trainer Tim Martin and owner Tom Lepic apparently thought it was a wonderful idea to keep abusing Tyler's Tribe. Tyler's Tribe died yesterday during a training session at Oaklawn Park. Tim Martin feigned shock and sadness at this horse's death. But the fact is that he had plenty of opportunities (at least 4) to see that this horse was not fit for racing. And he did nothing. Martin, to be sure, is not the only abuser out there, but he might be one of the more egregious. In truth, anyone who forces a horse to race is participating in the killing and injuring of innocent animals. We will not stop until horse racing is outlawed and subsidies stopped.

The Criminal Killing of Tyler’s Tribe: Bled, Bled, Bled, Bled, Dead Tyler’s Tribe is dead, so says a post yesterday from Oaklawn Park, the track at which he died. Apparently (details are scarce), Tyler’s died following a training session Wednesday. With…

Rare Triple Pocket Elvis EP SPD-23 VG+ / VG | eBay Regarding this piece, all 3 discs are strong VG+. Artist: Elvis.

This is an update on horses killed at Texas tracks in 2023 (Information provided by Horseracing Wrongs. A total of 25 deaths on track were reported last year. 12 of the 25 deaths occurred at Lone Star Park. Sam Houston Park had the second most deaths while Gillespie and Retama accounted for the rest. While all of these deaths are egregious, as these horses are used and abused just to make money, I did find the death of Fabulous Seis (d. Nov 3, 2023 at Lone Star Park) to be particularly disgusting. You can read more in the link below, but I will copy relevant details provided from Horseracing Wrongs:

One Fabulous Seis, Nov 3, Lone Star R
“Fought in gate. Head trauma with acute nasal hemorrhage. Died on track after removal from gates.” The report also noted that prior to dying, One Fabulous Seis had been on bleeder lists three times (in Louisiana and New Mexico). She was four years old.

This poor horse had been subject to bleeding issues three times, and the people still thought it fit to race him.

As humans, what we can do to eventually get the abuse to stop is to put a stranglehold on the business of horse racing by not attending parks, not betting on races, and not watching them on TV. Finally, we are ratcheting up the pressure on politicians to quit providing subsidies for this dying industry. The industry may be slowly dying, but as you can see it's still alive and horses continue to die and suffer from repeated abuse, even after they are proven unfit to ride.

Texas: "Fought in gate. Head trauma with acute nasal hemorrhage. Died on track." - Horseracing Wrongs Through a FOIA request to the Texas Racing Commission, I have confirmed the following kills at that state's tracks last year (this is part 2; part 1

When I can’t find 45s at estate sales, I start rummaging through other stuff. I bought this old Fort Worth Star Telegram, which stated the findings of the Warren Commission. So I’m now thankful that we can put any conspiracy talk to rest.

Just picked up this rare psych folk record for a dollar. Unfortunately it’s pretty messed up conditionwise. But it’s quite interesting. One of the songs is called “Sodomy With A Carrot.” Another song entitled “Bombs Away” appears to reference the Vietnam War. The artist is Don Daly. Top notch writing.

I picked up this 45 yesterday. I thought the threatening title was interesting. I’m not sure if she followed through on her threat but I’ll let you know if I uncover anything.
