I dont care how great a guy Joe Grant is or TJ Kelly is...they did not perform their due diligence and research the person they gave this horse to...and I'm sure both of them are very familiar w stable mail....it would take a matter of hours for a workout notice to find its way into an inbox and alert them that this horse was at a racetrack. there is such indifference once a horse has left the barn...i'm guilty of it too at times, its nice to see the pig who eats the most and contributes the least go to a new home...however, no horse ever deserves to see that sugarcreek auction. or new holland etc. stepping up after the fact and paying for his rehab is a sad substitute for doing the right thing in the first place. A cautionary tale for the DT stables people...you should insist that your horses go to a reputable and recognized recue organization, not just the first person in the shedrow who expresses an interest. another article, a bit dramatic but provides additional details about his "journey" http://www.examiner.com/x-37163-Equi...tain-slaughter

Beth, that's just it. No one wants to step up to the plate and say I sent the horse to auction. Pure cowardice. Every story I see on this says, "We have to get to the bottom of this." No one ever seems to know how they end up there. As if the horse slaughter fairy just picks them up in the middle of the night.

i got burned once, a horse I gave away as a companion ended up sold a week later. the new owners contacted me because i was listed on her health certificate, turns out the new home was probably better. And i learned a valuable lesson, that wont happen to me again.

Wow.. $75 bucks...
Unfortunately so many of the "horses that were going to be riding horses" end up there.. Very glad to hear Angela found him and Joe Grant will provide him a permanent home when the horse can travel.

I remember betting on that horse when he was racing at Belmont Park. I have no idea why I thought he could win.
I'm glad he is saved though.

That was a close call for him. He's going to need TLC.
