Belend, an 8 year old, in the 7th at the Fair Grounds yesterday clipped heels, fell and was euthanized. I believe he went off as the favorite.
He was a barn favorite for Gail and Michelle and a hard working boy in the claiming ranks that loved to race.
He won his last time out at the FG on Feb. 7th.
He was to be retired at the end of the year.
May he run with the angels and keep winning.
He will be missed.
