On X, there’s significant concern and outrage regarding the situation of the ex-racehorse War Envoy. Users are expressing sadness and frustration over how War Envoy ended up in a kill pen despite his successful racing career, including being a Britannia Stakes winner and having competed in the Breeders’ Cup. There’s a strong sentiment that the racing industry, particularly those who owned and trained him, have failed him. Some users directly criticize his most recent connections for allowing his condition to deteriorate to such an extent, calling it “disgusting” and questioning the ethics of those involved in his care. There’s also a call for better tracking and welfare for racehorses after their racing careers, with one user suggesting that the prominent figures from his past, like Ballydoyle/Coolmore, should step in to help. The overall tone on X is one of disappointment and a demand for better treatment and oversight for retired racehorses.
