According to a source at the track, 6-year-old Tawdry is dead after fracturing a pair of sesamoids in Monday’s 8th race at Mountaineer. This, but another example of racing trying mightily to conceal its odious underside – the chart merely had the mare taking “a bad step,” pulling up, and being vanned off. Tawdry, a veteran of almost four years, was running in a $5,000 claiming race for a racino-jacked purse of $9,500. This is horseracing.

This is sooo sick. And as I understand it, sesamoids do not fracture because of the proverbial ” bad step”. Not only is this absolute animal abuse “they” turn around and lie.. The people who defend this fine “sport” are no better than the low-life abusers.
So sorry, Tawdry…just 6 years old with your whole life ahead of you…destroyed, all for the lure of the almighty dollar in the name of entertainment.
Of COURSE the industry attempts to “hide” the destruction and death!…even by the “sin of omission”! I am so incredibly disgusted with the killing machine that is horseracing!
Tawdry, rest in peace, sweet girl…your servitude is over but to have to die for that to happen is beyond tragic. I am so sorry….
