Tuesday, November 8, Prop 26, a sports-betting measure that would have provided a massive subsidy to California horseracing, went down in flames – rejected by some 70% of voters.

This was a huge victory, especially with the record-setting amount of money spent by the prop’s backers, and we at HW were very much a part of it, both within a large statewide pro-animal coalition and on our own – op-eds, social-media blitz, etc.

To be sure, as California is (by far) the largest market in America, sports-betting is still likely to come. But know that we stand ready to fight back any proposal that includes a lifeline to the cruel, deadly horseracing industry.
