Horseracing Wrongs w/ Patrick Battuello Our Hen House

Horseracing’s popularity has declined over the years, so how is this industry still alive? This week we are joined by Patrick Battuello of Horseracing Wrongs, who sheds light on the brutality and corruption that is the horseracing industry.



Patrick Battuello has been writing on animal-rights issues since 2009 when he launched the Animal Rights blog for the Albany Times Union, one of the first of its kind in the nation. His work from this period appeared in a high-school text book, "The Case for Animal Rights." Patrick launched Horseracing Wrongs in 2013 and incorporated as a non-profit in 2017. Patrick has had racing op-eds published in The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, MSNBC, Katie Couric Media, among many others. He has appeared on CNN and ESPN multiple times, and in 2019 was featured on a groundbreaking segment of HBO's "Real Sports." Patrick has also testified before the New York State Senate.
