Aqueduct Racing Officials Faulted in Horse Deaths - NYTimes.com
I was delighted to learn that Gov. Cuomo's task force investigation will be leading to some reform of pain-masking drug use and clenbuterol abuse on the backstretch. What they uncovered validated what I went through with Bourbon Bandit.
So...here is an x-ray of Bourbon Bandit's knee in which he broke a bone (the equine knee has 5 bones) racing at Aqueduct on November 5, 2011. His breakdown went unreported by NYSRWB, when I inquired why?, I was told, "because he was not vanned off the track". I am still trying to find out what Bourbon Bandit was racing on that he did not feel the pain of a broken bone until two days later.....???
In today's NY Times article, Aqueduct Racing Officials Faulted in Horse Deaths, Howard B. Glaser, Mr. Cuomo’s director of state operations, said in an interview, “At the New York Racing Association, concern for the health of the horses finished a distant second to economics”.

...Thank you Gov. Cuomo for caring enough about horses to be the change that they need to see. These changes are a step in the right direction.
I stepped up and out about the abuse to my horse Bandit suffered...how many others are out there? Do you care enough to speak up? Please comment and share your thoughts, Susan.

This is a groundbreaking piece about the ethical dilemma veterinarians face when working on racehorse.
I had the privilege of contributing Bandit's story. He is one of the lucky ones.

Hello Friends, I was blessed to have had the great privilege of contributing to this article as a voice for Bourbon Bandit and owners throughout this country.

Please read this article and please share your comments and feedback. With thanks and appreciation for your time, Susan.

This my friends is how racing SHOULD be. Only with love, care and reverence for the horse, as demonstrated by the Boniface Family will horse racing continue. Without total regard the horse first and foremost, the horse racing industry will cease to exist.
