Our tax $$ is rebuilding Belmont Park while horses continue to die. #endthesubsidies #endhorseracing @governor.ny.gov
Two horses dead at Belmont Park following a collision during morning training. 💔
Two babies killed in one morning — yet the racing industry and its supporters dismiss it as if “these things just happen.” This isn’t “sport.” It’s animal cruelty. ❌🏇🚫

Horseracing is Animal Cruelty. For the 11,325 horses who have suffered and died. For all of the horses. #EndHorseracing

The #kentuckyderby is a show, a lie. Don't watch. Don't bet. Don't attend.

The KY Derby is a spectacle built on suffering. At Churchill Downs, the home of the #KentuckyDerby 20 horses were killed last yr. Behind the glamour lies a brutal industry in which horses are abused & killed for profit & "entertainment." 🚫🏇

HW has confirmed 27 kills @ MD tracks last yr. These innocent horses died brutally on the track of pelvic fractures, laminitis, intracranial hemorrhage & catastrophic fractures. Almost every necropsy reporting degenerative joint disease & stomach ulcers.💔🐴🕯️😢

Join us on June 7th to stand up against animal cruelty. Saratoga hosts the Belmont Stakes while our tax dollars pay for the rebuild of Belmont Park - New Yorkers are unwillingly paying for the continued abuse and killing of innocent horses. 🚫

Taxpayer $$ is funding Belmont Park’s rebuild, yet 6 horses have died training there since Jan 1. 💔NYS gave NYRA a $455M “loan” to prop up racing—paid back with taxpayer subsidies. Will this fill the stands beyond Belmont Stakes? No. Will it make racing safer? No. #StoptheSubsidies #EndHorseracing

Another life lost at Belmont Park—Cattani, 5 years old, dead after a RH injury. This is the 6th death at Belmont this year. (Link in comments.)

Check out the NYT exposé on corporate welfare fueling horseracing in NY & beyond. These horses won't die in vain. #EndTheSubsidies #EndHorseracing

Why spend billions to prop up a dying industry? You tell me.

Low attendance, horses dying & wage theft rampant. My bills, A3063 & A3095, will repeal tax break on racehorse purchases & end $230m subsidy New York gives racing each year.
