    • SO incredibly tragic. Fractured forelimb – surgery with hopes to make him a breeding stallion – laminitis…ALWAYS a tremendous risk to a horse with another limb compromised.

      “It’s a tough day for me, our partners and our team,” stated Jack Wolf, Starlight Racing co-managing partner. “This horse was a fighter and he fought for his life in the same way he battled on the track—with tenacity. It’s a terrible loss for all of us.”

      Why did this baby equine have to “battle” on the track? Oh that poor colt. Had to constantly battle – fight for his life – on and off the track. He endured tremendous suffering. For WHAT.

      RIP Intense Holiday…

      • Good question, Joy. Why did this baby have to “battle” on the track? The answer is easy…because his human connections wanted to make money on him. That is horseracing…
