Kudos to NY for once again leading the nation in addressing this issue. Finger Lakes is the only racetrack with an adoption program supported by the horsemen, the track, and the state, ably run by Dr Margaret Ohlinger- and now NY State is being proactive in ensuring that our retired racehorses have a future. I hope the rest of the nation and the racing industry will embrace this effort.
