Many bands are scheduled to perform a concert at Del Mar Race Track. But they probably don't know just how much horses suffer at this venue. I feel it's important to make sure the performers scheduled are made aware of what is truly happening to the amazing horses that are forced to race. At California's Del Mar Race Track, the 10-year average is a horse death every 3 racing days. During the 2014 season, 16 horses died in just 31 racing days. Horses begin training or already racing when their skeletal systems are still growing and unprepared to handle the pressures of running on a hard track at high speeds. Many racehorses become addicted to drugs when their trainers and veterinarians give them drugs to keep them on the track when they shouldn't be racing. And each horse that is raced to death (an average of 375), thousands of thoroughbreds will be sent to a slaughterhouse without ever seeing a track. With enough signatures, I'm sure that some of, or all of these bands will cancel their performance at Del Mar. Let's show them that Del Mar Race Track is no place for them!
