The New York Racing Association (NYRA) is calling for harsh penalties for horsemen who directly or indirectly sell a horse for slaughter.
The policy announced by NYRA on Thursday also asks horsemen to support horse rescue, adoption initiatives and to find humane ways of dealing with horses unable to continue racing.
Owners or trainers would have their stalls permanently revoked from NYRA tracks Aqueduct, Belmont Park and Saratoga if it is determined their horses ended up being sold for slaughter.

A collision at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas injured a jockey and forced officials to euthanize two horses.
Oaklawn Park officials said Monday’s collision injured 54-year-old jockey Tim Doocy, who was scheduled for surgery after an early diagnosis indicated fractures to his ankle, knee and hand.
Doocy was aboard The ATM, a maiden two-year-old Trippi colt, when the horse collided with a pony ridden by outrider Chisum Ewing. The accident occurred as Doocy’s mount was pulling up from a 3-furlong workout. Ewing was not injured.

By GREG MELIKOV
The Cigar Mile Handicap, named for the top money-winning thoroughbred for a decade, has attracted several Cigar Mile contenders that raced at the distance only once.
Well, Cigar ran a mile on the dirt only twice in his 33-race career, both times at Aqueduct where the Grade 1 has been held except for 1993 since debuting in ‘88 as the NYRA Mile. He won by seven lengths on Nov. 26, 1994, a month after taking an allowance race by eight lengths.
Those two victories were the start of a 16-race winning streak that equaled Citation’s modern-day North American record.
