This from the Gaming Commission for Warrior Nation at Finger Lakes yesterday: “While running in the 8th race, horse broke down with a (possible) spinal injury/compression fracture and was euthanized on the track.” Warrior was five years old; ’twas his third time under the whip. The complicit: Rowland Hancock, Michael Ferraro.
Dead horses every day – this is horseracing.
I was there. They started out in driving rain and they shouldn’t have run. It was very dangerous to men and horses.
It looked like running in SLOP.The announcer so candidly noting Warrior went down and said it twice.
