Tonto’s Sister, a 6-year-old mare under the whip for the 37th time, had this chart-line (Equibase) in the 7th last night at Louisiana Downs: “TONTO’S SISTER forced the early pace outside, fell at the five sixteenths mark and was euthanized.”
“Fell…and was euthanized.”
Oh, and she was sold – remember, this is mere property, a thing, we’re talking about here – for $5,000 prior to the race.
Ignore the coming pomp and pageantry at Saratoga and Del Mar. This is horseracing.
Goodbye innocent one.
Shouts out to Tonto’s sister. Horseracing is what horseracing does.
