Help end horseracing in the United States

We are pleased to share exciting news of two tracks closing in the U.S. brining the total number of shuttered tracks since 2000 to 45! 

After 80 years of abusing horses, Northville Downs in Michigan ran its final race on Saturday February 3, 2024 marking a significant step towards ending the cruel and deadly horseracing industry. The property's sale to a housing developer, coupled with our active role in thwarting the move to Plymouth Township, resulted in the closure of yet another track.

This victory, making Northville the eighth track to shut down in Michigan since 2000, reflects the progress we're making in our mission. And leaves the state of Michigan with no commercial horseracing! 

And another!

After 35 years of abusing horses, Sun Downs Racetrack in Washington State is now closed for good! This closure leaves Washington with just one commercial track. 

Goodbye cruelty! 

Now more than ever, it's clear that the public no longer supports this cruelty to horses under the banner of "sport." 

We at Horseracing Wrongs are committed to staying vigilant. If the industry makes another attempt to find a new location in Michigan, we'll be there every step of the way to stop it, expanding our track record of effectively opposing new racing proposals in states such as Massachusetts and Georgia.

Thanks to our caring supporters who believe in us and this mission, we are one step closer to ending horseracing in the US. Please consider making a donation, and join us now to help end this cruel and deadly industry for good. Every dollar brings the horses one step closer to freedom.

Together, we're making a difference for these incredible creatures.
