You really are a dumb motherfucker.

Michael Petrelli is a New York equine-welfare advocate and former Standardbred owner and trainer. He founded Equine Advocacy Alliance, an organization focused primarily on carriage-horse welfare and reform within harness racing.

His advocacy has two principal areas:

New York City carriage horses: Petrelli has spent several years observing and recording carriage horses around Central Park and Midtown. He has publicly reported horses he believed showed lameness, damaged hooves, wounds, exhaustion or inadequate body condition. ABC7 and CBS New York have featured his observations and comments.
Harness racing: Drawing on his experience as a Standardbred owner and trainer, he campaigns against performance-enhancing drugs, regulatory failures and the mistreatment or disposal of horses after racing. He has also organized petitions calling for greater accountability and reconsideration of public subsidies for racing.

In 2023, Petrelli released findings from a months-long investigation of the carriage industry. He presented videos of horses he believed needed veterinary attention and characterized their condition as an animal-welfare emergency. Carriage-industry representatives disputed some of his assessments, stating that the horses had received veterinary and farrier care.

More recently, Petrelli has represented Equine Advocacy Alliance in the campaign for Romanch’s Law, formerly Ryder’s Law, which would end NYC’s commercial horse-carriage industry. Following the fatal 2026 Central Park carriage incident, CBS identified him as an Equine Advocacy Alliance representative commenting on the industry’s safety record. He also testified before the New York City Council as a panelist invited by Speaker Julie Menin, describing himself as an experienced horseman and arguing that neither training nor additional regulation can eliminate a horse’s instinctive flight response in Manhattan.

Overall, Petrelli is best characterized as a persistent, outspoken advocate who combines hands-on horse experience with video documentation, public testimony, news appearances and political campaigning. His supporters view him as a horseman willing to challenge powerful racing and carriage interests. His critics—particularly within those industries—dispute some of his conclusions and confrontational methods. Anonymous forum accusations should not be treated as established facts without independent documentation.

We should celebrate how he tried to steal the very first Breeders Crown for two year old pacers for Nihilator with his five horse entry.

You might be thinking of Nihilator's Woodrow Wilson or Meadowlands Pace. As a 2yo, IIRC, Nihilator raced uncoupled in the BC (and got beat by Dragon's Lair of course). As a 3yo, he was part of a two horse entry with Chairmanoftheboar d. They finished 1-2.

Guida entered FIVE HORSES in that Breeders Crown which was a two heat race. Three of them made the final and one was used a a sacrificial lamb to park Dragon's Lair to the quarter. Jeff Mallet had trained Dragon's Lair to go two heats so he still was able to win.

Pershing Square. All those colts were named for streets and places in Manhattan.

Pershing Square parked Dragon's Lair to the quarter but Dragon's Lair still won. There was a bridge jumper in that race who almost had a huge loss!
