Seize the City Killed at Belmont...23rd Victim There This Year
FROM HorseracingWrongs.org
July 2023

In the 5th at Belmont yesterday, says the chart, “Seize the City
suffered an injury to his left foreleg and was vanned off.”
In fact,
he is dead—euthanized, I have confirmed, back in the barn. The
complicit: owners Gary and Janet Anderson, trainer Michelle
Giangiulio.
Here is what I wrote on Belmont/NYRA just four days ago (updated, of
course, to reflect this latest kill):
- Seize the City is the 23rd victim at Belmont this year.
- Over the past four full calendar years, 188 horses have perished at
Belmont—an average of almost 50 per year.
- Since 2009, the Death Toll at Belmont is a staggering 619. 619.
- And lest we forget, if the planned renovation of Belmont happens,
the resultant new track would become the deadliest in America. The lie
of NYRA “safety”—again.
