Rumors swirling of an investigation active at Mountaineer involving unauthorized InCompass access.

I've made calls. From what I learned, this situation is not CAW related and doesn't involve betting teams. What's being looked at is a possible situation similar to Linda at NYRA.

Few have written as eloquently and profoundly about the mistreatment of animals as @NickKristof. His latest piece is a must-read. https://t.co/N7kKyPRqBv

Ombudsman, a quite magnificent horse, a beautiful personality, and a wonderful, spine tingling performance to win today’s Champion Stakes at Ascot.

I didn’t think it would take him long to pee and as I was eager to get home for the Villa game I was pleased when he appeared from the testing area for me to get my crossing the road shot.

Thank you Ombudsman.

@braunswc @racetrackandy @hisa_us The honest way should be the only way.
Honest trainers, honest vets….. I’ll let a jockey slide with a few extra strikes in the heat of the moment…. My recommendation is for @hisa_us to turn the heat up on vets. Hold them accountable, to the same standard as the trainer.

@atTheTrack7 @Brnas05576799 I taught them well.

[Racehorse Welfare @LasixFreeRacing]

@Brnas05576799 @atTheTrack7 That’s a breeze, a windy move.

[Racehorse Welfare @LasixFreeRacing]

@placidhunter The last place a horse evolved to live is alone in a stall.

[Gulf-SchemePark(Decoupling soon) @Jackpotkimm]

@TheNYRA has big problem with these shadow jumping horses. How are they going to fix the problem?

[The Staggie Man @thestaggieman]

$555 Million dollar racetrack (Belmont) didn’t take into account where the shadows would be so horses aren’t jumping at the wire

@pawluk_michael Time of day

[Racing View 🐎🐶 @RacingClubJapan]

MONROE WALK won the G1 Shuka Sho against the three-year-old fillies in Japan

After the race she also had her skirt blown up like her famous Monroe name sake

@tommyhammer @DRFHersh @BreedersCup Does he know Lasix has been banned in stakes races?
He used to bring those Euros over and dope them all.

[GiddyUpBets @GiddyUpBets]

ANOTHER HORSE just JUMPED the BUILDINGS SHADOW at the new @BelmontPark1905

I’m not sure what can be done about it but I’ll be pointing it out until @TheNYRA atleast notices it

Again I’ll say, It’s a massive accident waiting to happen

[Paulick Report @paulickreport]

An Ontario appeals panel upheld Richard Moreau’s responsibility for a horse’s DPO positive but found that his punishment need not be the same as that of someone who administered the drug.

@polarcritter Alan you don’t need a statement. The euros have called and said they’re not coming if the turf is a mud pit. Breeders Cup holding them hostage

@susanamet Imagine the subsequent mental health of those performing the coup de grâce
