Note: This is not an anti horse racing website!
I get quite frustrated when a few readers automatically assume this is an anti horse racing website. This could not be further from the truth.
Your comments will not be posted, please take your opinions to the racing forums. Horses and racing are my life, help me keep this as a memorial for ALL our fallen horses, so they need not be forgotten.
This site is NOT run to provide figures for anti-racing groups, but rather for owners, trainers and strappers to remember thier fallen friends.
Horses Missing in Action - Can You Help?
UPDATED WEEKLY.
These horses all broke down in racing, but I cannot confirm that these horses have been euthanased. It is highly likely that most of these horses did not survive, perhaps put down several hours later after they left the track when the extent of thier injuries was discovered.
If you can confirm any of these horses were euthanased please let me know so they can be added to the memorial properly, and given the respect in which they deserve.
* Update - Have had some information provided recently to confirm the status of some of these horses! Many thanks and keep up the good work!
