My money is on the latter. Proponents have outraised opposition by a ridiculous margin ($2.5 million for supporters, only $80k for opposition). So I imagine the Florida airwaves are being bombared with "Yes on 13" ads. Factor in the general consensus among the population that "racing is cruel", and it's hard to see a scenario where this doesn't pass.
I wish the amendment had some sort provision for aftercare, but I still think that in the long-term, passage is the best thing. It's not ideal, but I'd rather see dogs put down now in a humane way, than to watch them keep being bred and dying for years and years to come.

Back in 2002, more than 60% of us voted to give sows and piglets the constitutional right to pens that are big enough to allow all of them to stand and turn around and lie down to nurse.
Every environmental initiative has passed since the early 1990s and the Forever Florida fund.
Off the track greyhounds are lovely, the best dogs. I've lived with three over the years.
People get us so wrong, we're not what people think we are.
