RIP this legend Mel Stute. What an amazing human with a huge heart and zest for life. Especially all things racing. He cashed his final ticket here on earth and is hitting the windows in heaven 😘🙏🏻 love you always Mel
Sad sad news to report…Howie Zucker passed away this afternoon. Howie was a kind gentlemen who always gave his time and energy to the backside and

I have never seen this before. This could have been disastrous. Horsemanship on display by both riders 👏🏻👏🏻 thank heavens FF didn’t get hung up on the bridle or bit. Close call 😳😳
Stunning to me that
@FanDuelTV
won’t budge on the nonsense on the bottom of the screen. No results scrolling. No odds while horses are running. News flash there’s no

games today and we are watching because we want to see the horses and races 🤨🤨
Listen up people. Shug is right. Uniform rules nationally on every issue concerning racing. IE meds stewards licensing etc State to state rules are confusing and inconsistent. We need to work towards consistency on all issues. RT if you agree 🙋🏻♀️
In catching up with Shug McGaughey this morning, asked him whether the

controversy should spark conversation about uniformity in rules related to stewards decisions, like the international rules that have been advocated for by the likes of

Hey PETA & racingwrongs. Watch this. There are thousands of men and women who would take a bullet for their horses. Complete and total devotion. You on the other hand fire first. Complete and total ignorance

The groom of Santa Monica Stakes winner HARD NOT TO LOVE, Martin Lopez, talks with
@BritneyEurton
about the love for his filly and why this win is so special.
Recent news is disturbing to say the least but we need to remember that there thousands of horsemen who have always done right and practiced their trades honorably. Don’t make everyone pay for a few really rotten apples. Many spoke up but fell on deaf ears 🤫🤭 more to come 🤷🏻♀️
Just astounding to me that horse racing has no voice or marketing plan. Racing has been operating safely during the pandemic. No national commissioner, no national marketing program, no national betting platform, no loyalty programs to owners and players..should I keep going 🤦🏻♀️
Golf is the second major sports league to return behind NASCAR, which began racing three weeks ago and ran nine national series races in a span of 14 days.
Check this out.This little synopsis on the economic impact in California speaks volumes. Owners pay roughly 25k per year per horse to maintain and sometimes more. Let’s give the players the respect they deserve. They are doing their part. You are messing with people’s lives RTpls
Volume ⬆️ Here is a blood draw at Horseshoe Indy 🥴 this is why no videos allowed in test barn by
@HIWUNews
. Imagine going to ur Dr for a blood draw and the tech has no gloves on. Contaminations and infections galore right here. How many bad tests have come from this test barn?…
It’s official. The world has gone mad. I bought tickets for James Taylor two months ago. They rescheduled for next year in May. Won’t refund my money. Over 1200$. Bull shit
@SeatGeek
@PechangaCasino
. I may be dead by then. Refund my money 🤬🤬🤬🤬 NOW
And one more thing. Why is no one standing up for the horsemen and all their workers. That’s the most infuriating part to me. Many fine horsemen in Cali and the workers are innocent victims who give their lives to these horses.

Santa Anita Park has received approval from the Los Angeles County Health Department to resume live racing beginning Friday, May 15 under strict protocols. Click the link to read the full press release.
Since racing twitter is so concerned with death, wondering if anyone is concerned with the 83 deaths in 2021 and 92 deaths in 2020
@nyra
. Racing media should surely be interested in all jurisdictions. No way to know about Ky as there is no reporting. Let’s bash fairly pls 🤦🏻♀️
Ummm
@GavinNewsom
how is this ok but no non spectator racing
@santaanitapark
. Unemployment claims will rise soon if racing can’t move forward. The infrastructure at track is crumbling. We need the revenue ASAP. No cases at track. Always isolated. Begging for response
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you all from Del Mar. Much to be thankful for. Appreciate all my old and new twitter friends. I have worked every thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. Not working today but going to the track 😂🤦🏻♀️ enjoy the day 😉
I don’t know how anyone could be surprised by this. Similar stories from HISA victims are everywhere, props to these people for speaking out. I hope more find the courage to expose HISA for the corrupt organization it is. This ain’t right 🥵👇🏻
As someone who has always favored a national PHASE OUT of race day meds, this knee jerk reaction
@santaanitapark
seems to lay blame solely on California horsemen. Curious if Santa Anita takes any responsibility at all in this mess.

FYI there are over 1330 hardworking law abiding employees in the barn area at Santa Anita. Trade specific workers who do their job brilliantly. R over 3100 thoroughbred workers state wide total. This needs to stated imagine the payroll 🙋🏻♀️RT pls 🙏🏻
Terrible travesty.
@cameron_beatty
gets suspended one year for entering winner circle in place of trainer and Asst trainer who were not present. When told to “get his horse” he complied. Rules state no owners in circle. But were mitigating circumstances, common sense shld prevail
While I’m all in favor of incentives and the like to bring horses west I wish we would have incorporated a program to reward those who have stayed here for the last year .

Santa Anita is launching a bonus program for out-of-state horses in April in an effort to lure horses to SoCal. The track is planning to run largely on a three-day per week schedule through June 21. More in this report on .

Well done Stronach Group. You have allowed a hideous outfit to infiltrate our community. Sit back and enjoy the chaos you have created. Thousands of people’s lives affected. You should be ashamed and yet you stay quiet 🤫.

@JayHovdey
and I the honor of informing Fernando Toro that he had been voted into the Hall of Fame.
Jay H. told Toro he needed some photos autographed. On the photos it said Toro was in the class of 2023.
Sorry, it’s dusty in here
This is what we are dealing with people. Sickos using the virus to accomplish what they have been trying to do for last year. Shameful. Their glee is disgusting. 🤬🤬
