I will be the voice for the voiceless. If anyone has information they want made public or interpreted, anonymous or otherwise, reach out to me. I have no problem being the one to put myself on the line for the benefit of the horses we owe everything to!
Commercial stallion owners should be required to donate a significant portion of earnings to the long term care of all thoroughbreds that are created out of our industry for racing.
Navarro blocked me back when i posted about X Y Jet being lame at the walk in his stall “resting” after the DWC! Now look - horse is dead, drugged the whole time -wtf are we allowing to happen to our horses and our sport? How can owners like MP CEO Dennis Drazan use these people?
Someone NEEDS to start objectively researching how the health of a breeding stallion is affected by the amount of mares he live covers over a lifetime or even over short period like a year - plus pay attention to husbandry habits & pre-existing health conditions. It’s important
Just thinking how I really absolutely absurd it is that horse racing trainers do not get paid until after their services have been rendered for an entire month😡 that is a huge unfair financial burden and they get screwed so many times it’s obscene.
Saratoga Glen - my husband and I would be willing to train the “dangerous untrainable” filly Amber Cobb so quickly labeled, beat and dispatched. I could guarantee we would have a very different outcome with the horse
Holy fuck. Why was MS sedated with Sedivet (romifidine) so frequently? Also i thought horse was sound and never needed injections yet hock was injected with triamcinolone. This list of meds for one horse in short time is utterly shocking and ridiculous
If NOTHING else, we should AT LEAST be requiring pre-breeze vet exams, equivalent to pre-race exams, before horses are allowed to breeze in the 2yo sales! And ALL should be drug tested at minimum for all NSAIDs/corticosteroids day of breeze up. The laxity in regs is absurd
Is anyone else besides me upset and outraged that Navarro’s family bought a farm down in Florida and that he continues to be around and train horses - along with many of the other indicted parties? I guess innocent until proven guilty, but......🤷♀️😓🐴
Did you know that people admitted to major trauma centres are 5-8X more likely to survive, it’s the same for our equine friends which is why we are launching an emergency transport service so that we can get your horse to where it needs to be if the worst happens
@WeipersEquine
Finally I would like to remind all the motherfuckers out there that people including professionals who curse have been scientifically proven to have higher IQs, be more trustworthy & honest. And that’s not Baffert science, it is peer-reviewed published Harvard et al science!
Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse: “When they find the bad apples, they don’t need to be slapped on the hand. They need to be thrown out and be done with."

Richard Vega, trainer at Parx, had many horses scratched on 25th. Vega is trainer for PA Racing Commissioner Salvatore Dibunda, Esq. Sal has been President of PTHA for almost ever. In my opinion this is MASSIVE conflict of interest that has far reaching consequences.
Re Baffert Avengers recommending I lose my job (though I own & work for my own practice), when you call to complain to racing state licensing or vet board, please clarify how many times others have attempted the same - answer - many times attempted, 0 times successfully. 😝
I just want to put out there that even after the first Del Ruling to suspend Amber Cobb - the Pennsylvania Racing Commission was the ONLY jurisdiction to follow up with their own ruling in support of her suspension. Other jurisdictions need to stand up as well!
Good luck to Alfie in his first race today at Gulfstream Park -R1🥰. Of all the horses, this guy has told us since day 1 that he likes to go fast, so we shall see just how fast😂❤️🐴⭐️🦄 love him to bits & beyond. No lasix! We are hoping for effort, happy & healthy return🎉🎉🤞
2 year old Thoroughbred racehorse.
2/5 lameness blocked out to fetlock joint. Radiographs were normal.
Sent for CT/PET.
Diagnosed subchondral bone injury on medial condyle. This will heal in time and should be able to return to training after 60 days and follow up imaging.
According to trainer and co-owner Tim Martin, a necropsy performed on the popular Iowa-bred Tyler's Tribe (Sharp Azteca) revealed that his death was the result of a collapsed trachea. He died following a workout Wednesday at Oaklawn.
@BillFinley3
Early AM baby - final one of this year for us - all 3 fillies this year🥰. This big girl by Coal Front out of Quick Bid by Cryptostar has legs for days. Mom and baby doing great. Born 430 this am❤️🐴⭐️ (still a lil wobbly in these early pics lol)
@SwiftHitter
The necropsy shows the horse was running on bone on bone ankles. All 4 of them! And full of worms to the point of causing enteritis and colitis BUT never better - best care these BB horses get!
It is so sad to know that Fair Hill Training Center has openly welcomed Ramon Preciado and Jamie Ness to their sheltered domain! And we wonder why cheaters keep cheating
People - lidocaine is not what we use to block out horses, we use carbocaine aka mepivicaine. Different properties and diff efficacies. Topically lidocaine is not absorbed via intact skin, only via mucus membranes and open wounds. Stop with some of the backseat vetting
For everyone posting about HISA member salaries, I know of multiple individuals who took significant pay reductions and left their current jobs to join HiSA trying to make a difference for the horses
It seems the payroll is growing larger by the day for
@hisa_us
(and we know who’s paying for it). That being said, it sure would be nice if they hired personnel who knew more about our industry. But, I guess it’s a “work in progress”, right?🤔
This. I am behind this 100%. Owners should, even if they don’t now, step up & make themselves aware of what goes on with their horses - or not be owners. Should not be a faceless/emotionless position - owner!
BTW: Since this has happened i have let 3 of our rescues lick lidocaine 5% patches or touched the patches and then our horses’ tongues - none of them tested positive on blood testing
I am very perturbed that
@TheNYRA
has yet to release necropsy findings for X Y Jet! I want to know how that amazing horse just dropped dead AND how all his joints looked besides (seeing as he was in training to compete after multiple surgeries when his death occurred)
@raypaulick
I think all female racehorses should have a vote in whether or not someone stitches up their vulva (lady parts), thus decreasing the space they can urinate from. All bc someone (sans science), decided one day that a Caslick’s sx would make them run faster 🤦♀️🖕🤬 fucking stupid
2 foals born in last 3 weeks. One colt by Cloud Computing o/o Palace Showgirl & one filly by Rock Your World o/o Hey Braciole. Always a joy to work w/
@spendthriftfarm
& ecstatic to have privilege to birth, raise, train & either race or follow alt career paths w/all 🥰🐴🎉
Views of the first set of Hillcrest &
@PARR_OTTB
horses at their new farm in Ocala, FL. Still many more trips for those of us remaining here in PA but we are getting there❤️🐴🐎🙏. Jorge, our pet steer, makes his journey there on Monday
This is one of my favorites “my vets don’t even carry lidocaine”. Like he has any idea what they carry. Almost all vets carry lidocaine for suturing wounds🤦♀️
This!! I’m so fucking disgusted how reactive & sensitive we are to anything anyone says, no matter who they are.We are all allowed by the Constitution to have & voice opinions, defend ourselves & protest, however, we do NOT have the right to injure, riot, destroy or kill. 💔🌎
I bought a new popper whip today. Will be videoing random people including myself getting whacked with it to see “if it hurt” and/or if it leaves a mark, bruise, etc! Stay tuned
Funny/ironic things remind me to this day why I am who I am. Over 5 yrs ago Marcos Zuleta hired a lawyer to sue me for calling him out publicly on FB as a cheater imo. That didn’t work out for him then & look where we are now. I don’t say things just for the sake of saying them
Today I retired Diamond Jen Brady. She is a big grey and decided she was not going in the gate, stuck up her tail and dug in. She’s five and this would have been her 25 th start. She came in third in July . She’s sound and happy. Just said no. They tell you .
Everyone keep your eyes on Claudio Gonzales. And all of you TB people down there in FL who know full well that Navarro is training, fucking stop being pussies and tell someone! He is breaking his rules of bail!
Horses show evidence of mirror self recognition. After horses' cheeks were painted with a colourful mark in a spot they couldn't normally see, horses used the mirror to guide their movements and scratch at the marks, indicating a degree of self awareness.
If horsemen are so concerned that it is the track surface then why do they keep entering their horses?????!!!! Esp if they are sooooo worried & know it is sooo dangerous??? Choices people - choices!
Another day, another equine fatality at Churchill Downs. Saturday's victim was Kimberley Dream, a 7-year-old mare euthanized after a ligament rupture suffered in the first race. That makes 12 dead horses this spring. Still no sign of the track shutting down.
Mark my words, arms runner had predisposing injury and this is the tragic outcome of pushing the limits. This is my strong opinion BUT if when i receive the necropsy reports i am wrong i will MORE than grovel for forgiveness to those who i wrong by speaking this aloud
Reports of horses breaking down or dying almost daily at PARX recently. Requesting necropsy reports and running through forms to confirm but if true, WTF? People who are good and care about horses, STAND the FUCK UP already and STAND TOGETHER!
For anyone interested - all metformin tablets currently on the market are “film-coated”. I could go into what all that involves but you can easily google it. Needless to say - hard to contaminate via human hand to horse mouth. Below is one example of many
WinStar Farm's Grade 1-winning millionaire Paynter, whose story of perseverance captivated the racing world in 2012, had to be euthanized on Friday, Nov. 10, due to lameness.
It would be super easy to test Baffert defense theory I mean how hard would it be for any of us to pick up a lidocaine patch touch it touch the horses tongue for a few seconds and test the horse a little while later? I don’t see why somebody’s not in the process of doing it now
People - we CAN do respiratory and pulmonary testing in horses, but most of the damage horses with smoke or poor air quality inhalation incur will not be evident until a significant period after exposure.
People should spread this statement far and wide and make sure that every official in charge of anything ever is aware of what is being said and of how corrupt this makes them up here even if they are not
Amr Zedan to Nick Luck this morning from the Saudi Cup: "Bob Baffert will have a horse in the Kentucky Derby this year. Don't ask me how, but he will be there."
Zedan also said that if he owns a top 3yo trained by Baffert, the horse will skip the Derby if Baffert cannot compete.
It is Valentine’s Day - honestly ok so what, but I am grateful for many things & while it’s on my mind - i am most grateful for animals (feel free to disagree w/my priorities). I can feel horses like they are part of me & im grateful for those who love, care for & honor them

More children are mistreated and in foster care or unwanted than are those who aren’t being born these days. There is nothing wrong with aborting an early pregnancy, same as miscarriage. Adopt a child. Society obviously cannot afford or be trusted to follow safe sex practices
Friends, followers, fellow horse lovers - I am posting to ask for your support of HISA efforts going forward. An adaptable set of unified nationwide rules are better than wasting time/money for horsemen to once again promise to properly govern themselves. 1/2 If interested🙏🐴🏇
Hi everyone! - weather is nice here and these people feed me some good food - not sure about the crazy steer they have as a pet here but I have met some other retired racehorses and they say he’s cool so I guess I’ll just go with it❤️🐴🐎-Brown’s Gap aka Brownie
