Ex-racehorse found dead; two others malnourished


Story Updated: Jan 22, 2008 at 7:34 AM PST
By KOMO Staff

Watch the story AUBURN, Wash. -- An ex-racehorse was found dead and two others have been found malnourished in Auburn.

Now, the racing community is furious and is demanding an investigation of the woman who had promised to save those horses.

Just three months ago, Tuker was healthy and considered fat. But now you can see his ribs. The thoroughbred was sold from an Auburn ranch in September in good health. Five days ago, Skagit County Sheriff's deputies brought him back, near death.

"He just walks lethargic," said horse caretaker Karen Angelos.

All Tuker wants to do is eat. His rib bones poking through his coat makes Angelos think he hasn't been fed since he left their ranch three months ago. Deputies say the horse was so hungry, he ate the wood right off a fence post.

Tuker's hips are sunken in and so are his eyes, and sores are all over his body.

"It's just so sad, it's just an empty feeling," Angelos said.

Tuker is one of three horses that retired from racing at Emerald Downs in September. All of them were sold to the same Skagit Valley woman.

"Everything looked right with this gal and we thought they would be in good hands," said horse trainer Melody Slocum. "We thought she was nice."

In November, the new owner missed a payment on the horses. Melody thought the woman hit a financial rough patch.

It wasn't until last week they learned the horses were allegedly being neglected. And one of them, Slew City Gem, who just ran her final laps at Emerald Downs last year, may have died from starvation.

"We got a call from the Sheriff saying she's dead and probably starved to death and her body was thrown over a cliff," Angelos said.

"To find out they starved her to death, it's a bad feeling," Slocum said.

The Skagit County Sheriff's Office is investigating, and horse lovers are demanding criminal charges. A third horse involved has also been located, but it's not clear yet what its condition is.

There's a photo of Tuker on the link. It's pretty sad.

Claimer breaks down, euthanized

Characteristic, a 6-year-old horse trained by Sadler, was euthanized on Thursday after suffering sesamoid injuries during the running of the fifth race for $32,000 claimers.

Characteristic is the second horse to be euthanized since Santa Anita's main track underwent a five-day renovation earlier this month to add polymers and fibers from the Australian synthetic surface Pro-Ride to the existing Cushion Track brand surface. The track lost 11 days of racing in January and early February after the synthetic track failed to drain following major rainstorms.

His name was Cimyla and he deserves more than this litle blurb on DRF.

He'd won at Wolverhampton, at Lingfield, Sandown and Nottingham.

Not a worldbeater, not a superstar, but a nice horse with heart who was fun to follow.

He tried.

He'll be missed.

Hope he didn't suffer.

Cimyla, 7, euthanized after workout

Cimyla, a 7-year-old gelding winless in five starts in this country, was euthanized on Saturday after suffering injuries at the conclusion of a workout. The injury happened near the finish line after a seven-furlong workout.

Trainer Ben Cecil said that Cimyla suffered a severe sesamoid injury.

Cimyla is the third horse to be euthanized at Santa Anita since the synthetic main track was resurfaced earlier this month in an effort to improve drainage. Cecil was quick to say the racetrack was not at fault.

"I don't blame the racetrack," he said. "I think the racetrack is very good. You're going to get injuries from time to time."

RIP... that's sickening. :(

when kelly and i went to see the lipizzaners last month, they had a couple of horses in the show that had been rescued from deplorable conditions. they looked great! you'd never know had they not said that once upon a time those horses had been starved and neglected.

i despise seeing neglected animals. some humans shouldn't be classified as such.
