This is heresay, and from the FOB forum, so take it with a whole shaker of salt.

Can anyone verify it?

I just talked wit the NJ State Vet - it was determined on Tuesday that Unrequited had a fractured pelvis and he was euthanized.. The vet was aware that the horse had just run the friday before at Belmont Park but said that unfortunately there were no state rules that prohibited that.. these were Unrequited's first races after a one year lay off..

I have no first hand information about whether the horse was euthanized but these were not his first two races of the year. He had been away about a year, but before these races, he ran in late May/early June at Belmont and/or Monmouth.

The problem with the FOB board is that while there are alot of orsemen on there, very few have ever read the DRF and couldn't tell as past performance from a pasta primavera. Alot are fans but they are really not well informed about the inside working of the game.
With all due respect to the horsemen here on DT, many don't nreally know that much about handicapping and don't read the PP's regularly.
