Someone should do something to get these horses' remains moved to SA...............
Not pointing fingers, but it's always "someone" should do it. It reminds me of a structure in town that was to be demolished. There were organized marches with signs protesting the demolition of this ramshackle building.
The trouble was, at least a score of those wanting to save the building could have done it personally, but they wanted someone else to do (and pay for it). The building got the wrecking ball.
If those who want to save the remains of horses want it done, they should get together and see what can be done, and figure if it can be financed. As it stands, the owners of the HP facility have every
legal right to build over the remains. Unless something is done, they will end up like Omaha, just a memory.
Old Friends', I believe has started a cemetery for Hall of Famers, but eventually what will happen to them? They have had financial issues in the bast that needed emergency funding.
Landaluce, Great Communicator and Gay Dalton were famous horses, but not in the Hall of Fame. What is the long term of Santa Anita? Who knows what will happen when Stronach dies. Statistically he has exceeded his expected lifespan, so that is a real factor. Will his heirs want to continue his racing enterprises?
