    I watched another horse collapse in a race at Del Mar today, 7/23/2016. I also witnessed the fall of a horse on 7/25/2014, knocking off other riders and attempting to run with a broken leg, riderless. I will NEVER step foot on a track again or watch another horse race again. Enough is ENOUGH. Regulation..protect these beautiful animals from greed.

    Just witnessed a horse at Del Mar opening day fall then try to get up trying to walk with her arm flying like a ragdoll attached to her. She was so unaware and confused at why she was unable to walk. It was a heart breaking moment. The fact that we do this for joy, money and entertainment is barbaric.

    Just witnessed a horse at the Del Mar 2016 opening day races that snapped it's leg and could not understand why it couldn't walk in the 6th post. I was so upset by this that I am not signing any petition to ban these races. It was my first time attending a race and before this I never knew about the world of horse racing. I won't be attending anymore races. I'm positive they will put this horse down and will not attempt to put it through rehab or let it live a long peaceful life.

    Isn't is time we speak up for those who have no voice and tell the truth about what really goes on in the horse racing industry. We have enough sports to fill our lives with excitement. Animals "are not brethren, they are not underlings, they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time" Henry Beston. It is time that we treat them with the respect they deserve and speak up for them. Please do what you can to end this horrible " sport" .

    About 1,000 horses die on racetracks in the US every year. That's just on race tracks. And that's just in the US. If that many baseball players or basketball players died during games then they would be banned. But just because it's "only" horses... then, we are not supposed to care? What kind of people are we to allow this to continue? Not kind at all I'd say. Not kind at all.
