Are there still suicide horse races in the U.S.?

I went to a few in the early 1980's (SD and IA) but they aren't around anymore. I was just curious if they were in any other parts of the country.
Answers:
medowlands just had one last saturday
Can you explain what these are under add details?
I never heard of a suicide horse race. But it isn't a bad idea for the Democrat Party primary race.
Yes theres one for sure, I can't remember where its at, or what its called tho. I have seen blogs about it tho.
Yes, unfortunately. They have to be some of the worst races. The horses are not even physically prepared. A suicide race takes place in Omak, washington every summer.
Omak, Washington has one every year, the newspaper shows pictures. why you would want to go to one is beyond me, they are crule the horses arnt physically prepared, and half of them end up being put down after breaking legs or necks from falling. its dangerous to the rider too but i guess some cowboys are just dumb enough to risk their life in need of excitement, GO TO A THEME PARK OR SOMTHING dont hurt animals
How about the people get thrown off trampled? Maybe they'd learn to be nicer to animals that do nothing but work and carry us. Humans are so cruel!
why would you want to put your horse through that? that is wrong. heck you should not be able to own a horse if you even think about that. how would you like it if is sat on you back and asked you to run down a hill, than i trip you up. and let you break a leg or your neck. maybe a few ribs too.
Omak Washington in August.
Its a very deadly race!!
Heres a couple articles.

I haven't heard of a law that has been passed making them illegal, but I strongly feel there should be a law passed. The suicide races are cruel and inhumane.
