I don’t want to hear excuses. This looks really, really bad. The trainer has no idea about anything and the Director of Racing Operations at Mountaineer hung up on the TDN when they called.
I don’t think any of us are naive when it comes to where euthanized horses end up, but again bad optics in a sport that doesn’t need anymore right now.
It’s hard to sell non racing fans on how much the sport loves its horses when they end up in a landfill with their front wraps still on after an injury.
