While not all the “vanned off” end up dead, most do, as borne out by our subsequent reporting. “Bled,” “Returned Bleeding From Nostrils”: pulmonary hemorrhage.
Ah yes, the tarps/screens always at the ready and in constant use to hide from the public the sickening suffering of its ‘much loved’ horses breaking down from the stress and cruelty inflicted upon them by the horseracing industry.
Interesting: The official chart for Friday’s Race 5 at Gulfstream was apparently changed after-the-fact. North Caucasus was initially reported as “pulled up and unseated near the quarter pull (sic)…and EUTHANIZED on track.” Now, chart reads he was only “vanned off.”
Which is it, Stronach Super-Safe Safety Team?
Vanned off (while dead)…?
