The 3rd at Hawthorne yesterday, in the words of the chartwriter: “Gun Rush showed the way into the upper stretch, went wrong [the announcer said, ‘amiss’], pulled up, was euthanized.” He was five; ’twas his 21st time under the whip. Primarily complicit in the kill are owners Thomas Basler and Dennis Pohl, but also (this being a capitalistic country) all those who support the horseracing industry in any way – betting, attending, watching.
