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. ❌🏇🚫

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

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.
