Default More Positive Racing News From Mountaineer

http://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com...d-at-landfill/

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.

Disgusting.

The tattoo should reveal who the owner of record is.
He needs to go to jail and get a lifetime ban.
Mountaineer - should be boycotted until that guy there is fired.

They know who the owner is, it’s in the article. They are still collecting information but what I’ve heard is the horse was euthanized after being injured and instead of taking the horse to where they usually do, someone at Mountaineer allegedly brought her to the landfill. Again, not sure how true that is, the what I’ve heard.

Another situation where no one in the industry is talking while the story takes off.

The owner? What did she (Vickie Stewart) do?

There's only one question to be answered about this awful circumstance: How did it happen that this particular horse wasn't brought to the rendering facility?

Because they can't help but operate in an underhanded manner, a put up job by PETA. To quote Turo Escalante, "What a surprise"..

I give Vickie Keith of the National Thoroughbred Welfare Organization a lot of credit. She said fix was in from the outset.

From DRF..

Big surprise. PETA is nothing but a collection of uneducated scumbags.
