Hi:

You have a very important blog here and thanks for the information that you have posted. Names are important and brings the reality to the front.

I have already written to many places in Sugarcreek from the chamber of commerce to the auction place itself and many other places to wake up and realize what is going on there is reflecting upon your people and your state.

Keep up the good work. I have bookmarked your site.

Thanks again,

Liane

Yes, thank you for what you are doing! These owners and trainers need to be exposed for the awful things they are doing to horses who give their all to the sport of racing! I've added you to my favorites, too and I'll be checking back!

More then just this one horse you have listed here and yes Jaron Gold is a piece of shit.

I worked at DRC from 76-98.

Longshot- I hadn't heard. Just went to read the link you posted. I was sorely tempted to comment to the two comments on DRF.
"He was what racing needs and will miss. A very good horseman."
His granddaughter states he loved the horses.
I know he used to send them up the road by the truck load.
Some love that is.
He was exactly the kind of trainer racing didn't need. Not then and not now.

I just adopted a thoroughbred who was rescued from the kill buyers at New Holland. His tattoo was mostly sand-papered off but we ended up identifying him as a horse trained under Gerasimos Moschonas. Such a sweet horse, it's a shame. I can only imagine what this poor horse has been through. These trainers can be so cruel!
