Stanley Cartel becomes the 32nd victim this year at Los Alamitos – Horse Racing Mistakes

In the 8th Saturday at Los Alamitos, Stanley Cartel “took a bad step and fell.” While the card writer claims the 4-year-old was taken away in an ambulance, he was in fact euthanized where he lay.

In the aftermath of a massacre in November (at least six dead horses), Los Alamitos released this statement:

“As early as Sunday evening, November 23, Los Alamitos Race Course management began working with our medical and racing teams to install even more stringent measures and enhanced safety protocols to reduce injuries to horses. Animal safety has always been our top priority and has become an even greater priority today.

“Changes have been made and more changes will be made to improve the safety of horse training and racing at Los Alamitos. We thank the California Horse Racing Board for its leadership and we are prepared to work with their staff as we approach this very important moment at Los Alamitos Race Course.”

After all these years, and after all our work documenting that nothing about the cruelty and murder in the American horse racing industry ever changes, anyone who still falls for their lies is willfully ignorant. Point.

By the way, although some media report the number of deaths in Los Al this year at 18 or 19, the actual toll is 32. For comparison: in 2021 and 2022 combined it was 33.
