I have confirmed the deaths of two broken horses from yesterday:
4-year-old Lefty Closer – trained and owned by Antonio Pizzurro – in the 7th at Mahoning; 6-year-old Matter of Truth – trained by David Walters, owned by Larry Brafman – in the 6th at Charles Town. Another pair of intelligent, sensitive creatures consumed by an archaic gambling business. How very sad.
I would add to that. tragic , heartbreaking horse abuse
I pray that they will Rest in Peace.
I remember watching Matter of Truth run at woodbine awhile ago. At first I thought this read Matter of Law,
as that one ran as well. So many frigin names filed away in memory.
Just another premature death for both
