Rap Star in the 5th at Mahoning today: “pressed the early pace along the rail, suffered a catastrophic injury into the turn, pulled up and was euthanized.” She had just turned four, and this was her 11th time under the whip.
Two races earlier, by the way, Golden Lassie “reared, hitting the gate at the start.” She was run anyway, and was eventually “distanced.”
This is horseracing.
It is absolutely heartbreaking cruelty
A beautiful baby girl, dead for this corny ass bullshit. Her life MATTERED …more than you corny compulsive gamblers.
ban all horse racing. it is simply death for horses. we dont need it. no props of taxpayer dollars for this horror
