Like Mom Like Sons euthanized
Like Mom Like Sons, the promising 3-year-old colt owned by Howard Walton and trained by Sid Attard, was euthanized at the University of Guelph's veterinary clinic on Saturday.
The problems began when Like Mom Like Sons developed a stubborn pus pocket, and he subsequently foundered.
"We tried like crazy to save him, but there was nothing we could do," said Walton. "He was in a lot of pain."
Like Mom Like Sons won both of his starts here last fall impressively and ran his streak to four when he made his stakes debut in the six-furlong Woodstock here this spring. His only loss came in Pimlico's Grade 3 Hirsch Jacobs, in which he failed to make the lead and wound up fifth.
"He was probably one of the top sprinters here, if not the top sprinter," said Walton.
