And while not reported as “vanned,” the following…
Payton Pretty “stopped in stretch and bled” at Mahoning
Smokemonthecliff “hit rail, fell, DNF” at Los Alamitos
Getcha Romance “fell, DNF” at Sunland
While not all the “vanned” end up dead, most do, as borne out by our subsequent reporting. “Bled” almost always indicates pulmonary hemorrhage.
Jonathan Wong sure likes to do a lot of tweeting and retweeting on Twitter. He conveniently hasn’t mentioned his horse, Fort Defiance, instead just mentioning the horses that won. Betcha this horse wasn’t even a blip on the radar screen. I mean, the guy only has horses at no less than 3 tracks around the country.
I’m sure he loves them, right??
