Through a FOIA request to the Wyoming Pari-Mutuel Commission, I have confirmed the following kills at that state’s tracks thus far this year. Please note that multiple horses were killed on multiple days – three on Jun 17, two on Jul 8. Good, clean family fun.
Bds Got a Rogue One, Jun 3, Wyoming R – “fractured cannon past wire”
Edelstein, Jun 10, Energy R – “fractured cannon right before wire”
Pappies Sue, Jun 17, Wyoming R – “fractured shoulder” (two years old, first race)
Die Antwoord, Jun 17, Wyoming R – “broke back” (two years old, first race)
Rip Stone, Jun 17, Wyoming R – “fractured shoulder” (two years old, second race)
Black Dot Dan, Jul 1, Wyoming R – “fractured shoulder” (two years old, second race)
A Flashin Cartel, Jul 8, Wyoming R – “fractured shoulder” (two years old, second race)
Tw Triffle Volcom, Jul 8, Wyoming R – “head injury in gate”
Shweet Persuasion, Jul 15, Wyoming R – “fractured fetlock” (nine years old, 65th race)
Luckyginger, Jul 16, Wyoming R – “fractured both front [limbs]” (three years old, first race)
Luckyginger’s chart reads, “raced greenly”, which usually means she was running erratically. (And no mention of her breaking down!)
I guess that happens when both front legs are shattered! Scumbags
Five 2yr ofd horses killed in their first or second start. Four with fractured shoulders and one with a broken back!
These cowboys are beyond rough on their young horses!!
Outrageous carnage, Wyoming!!
