Pump Up, a four-year-old maiden winner for trainer Steve Margolis, sustained an open cannon bone fracture during a workout on Sunday morning and was euthanized.

An unraced three-year-old filly trained by Mark Casse broke down with a shattered rear pastern on Monday morning and was euthanized.

Wisdom And Luck. The 6-year-old Paraneck Stable mare finished distant eighth, then dropped dead from "cardio-vascular collapse" pulling up after the race. She entered this 15G claimer with 1-for-22 slate, was beaten 20 lengths last out for 10G tag and lost five of her previous six starts by double-digit lengths.

She could have used a little wisdom in her training, and some luck. Obviously she had neither. She raced 3 times this year and earned $287 for Paraneck.
