Euthanized. Tough end to a fun weekend

Sorry to hear that. He ran great in that race before this.

Horrible for the connections and the sport. A sad day of what could of been. For me it ruined it.

I don't remember where I read it but they had to scope the horse after his last workout because it was so slow/poor they thought he bled. How can they let the horse go into the gate?

They should have moved it a long time ago. They dumped so much sand over the track to slow it down some of the horses just could not get over it. Was almost like watching races being run on a sloppy track.

The horse actually ran pretty well before he took a bad step and had an ACCIDENT. They happen. It’s the worst part of the game but they happen. I don’t see how the track, the vet or the connections can be blamed here.

Trainer was unhappy with the work because the saddle had moved back and it was slower than he wanted.

There is no one to blame except the sport itself. When you race 1200 lb animals on thin legs as fast as they can go these things are going to happen. No way around it. The people who understand this sport accept it. Unfortunately this kind of thing is what drives the un- knowledgeable anti-horse racing establishment and their agenda.
