In the 1st Saturday at Glenwood Park at Middleburg – “Virginia’s Oldest Steeplechase, Est. 1921” – Machenbank, according to the chartwriter, “was pulled up before the last fence and vanned off.” In fact, I have confirmed, he broke his leg and is dead. Said his owner, Patrick Lewis, on Twitter: “This game is tough on the best days and brutal on the worst. He was a good boy and will be missed.” You, sir, are despicable – a perfect match for the trainer you hired: Keri Brion.

Of course this horse will be missed, the very horse that these vile people insist are treated like ‘family members’ Oh but wait a minute, he’ll only be ‘missed’ until the insurance money and slaughterhouse money is collected and then its time ‘to move on to the next victim’ of this heartless, soul-less ‘sport’
“He was a good boy.” So you put him in a situation that you describe as “brutal”? “He will be missed.” Somehow, I doubt that. Poor, poor, horses that wind up in the hands of people like this.
“This game”?! It figures a morally depraved individual would think of the exploitation, abuse, and killing of sentient beings as a game. The only ones who lose are the horses – their health, their sanity, and finally, their lives.
