Chart notes from U.S. Thoroughbred and Quarterhorse races last week.
La Danta “vanned off” at Delta
Distortedatthebar “took a bad falling, euthanized on track” at Mountaineer
Jump Free “fell over fallen rival, DNF” at Penn
Siberian “broke down, [dead]” at Penn
Aspen Wonder “fell, vanned off” at Remington
Flyn “vanned off” at Zia
Queen Bridget “vanned off” at Remington
First Down Icon “fell, [dead]” at Turf
Super Curioso “vanned off” at Tampa Bay
Cavu “vanned off” at Gulfstream
Wall “injured, euthanized” at Laurel
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.
This list of injured horses shows that so many people are selfish and thoughtless when it comes to the treatment of horses.
Horseracing is Animal Cruelty!
The carnage continues unabated.
